1848 Braided Hair Large Cent 1C BN Newcomb N1 R3 GSID 1138 Strong XF Features

The exact coin shown is the coin you will receive. This 1848 Braided Hair Large Cent shows strong Extremely Fine features, with sharp hair-braid detail on Liberty, crisp stars and a clearly readable date — see the photos of both sides.

Early copper with real history. Large cents were the first coins struck for circulation by the U.S. Mint, made from 1793 to 1857 and nearly the size of a modern half dollar. The Braided Hair design ran from 1839 to 1857, and 1848 is a popular date for type and variety collectors.

Attributed as Newcomb N1, Rarity 3, with a GreySheet ID of 1138 for easy price-guide lookup. A solid, original-looking copper piece for a type set, a date set, or a variety collection.

BOURNE2TREASURE
WHO WE AREBourne2Treasure is a family-owned business based in Dayton, TN, proud to be celebrating our 25th year in operation. Along the way we’ve earned over 27,000 pieces of feedback as a seller.
SHIPPINGEvery coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEEWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT USContact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMERWe arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
