1846 Braided Hair Large Cent – Small Date – Possible Newcomb N-6 Offered by BrightVaultCo is a beautiful piece of early American copper history—an 1846 Braided Hair Large Cent from the Philadelphia Mint. This example displays the Small Date style and, based on visible die characteristics, appears consistent with a possible Newcomb N-6 variety. This coin is raw, uncertified, and the N-6 attribution has not been professionally confirmed. Please review all high-resolution photos and make your own determination. The coin retains strong detail for its age, including a well-defined Liberty portrait, visible hair and coronet details, strong date and stars, and a clearly defined reverse wreath and ONE CENT denomination. Attractive aged brown copper surfaces give this nearly 180-year-old coin excellent character. 1846 • Small Date • Copper • Philadelphia Mint • Possible N-6 Exact coin pictured. Grading is subjective. A great addition for any Large Cent, early copper, or Newcomb variety co
