1856 N.3 Slanted 5 Braided Hair Cent PCGS MS64RB (CAC)

CAC approved. From the EJ Collection, part 2. As many of you will recall, the EJ Collection was assembled by a very patient, careful, knowledgeable collector who is still active, but beginning to whittle down his holdings. The coins are uniformly magnificent in terms of the primary factors that are important to him - surface quality, originality and eye appeal. This coin is essentially perfect for the grade...or better! A tiny rim nick can be found near S4, and a small, darker spot is well hidden on a leaf right of E in ONE. Both are trivial in the overall context of this magnificent example.
