1843 Braided Hair Large Cents, Proof Values
Greysheet & Red Book® PRICE GUIDE
The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Braided Hair Large Cents, Proof (1839–1857) series of Large Cents in the U.S. Coins contains 6 distinct entries with CPG® values between $5,000.00 and $54,000.00.
Important Note Regarding Early Copper Pricing: Early American copper issues (colonials, half cents and large cents) are an especially challenging area to determine and fix accurate market values. The issues listed in CDN publications represent the wholesale prices of coins that are problem free and strictly graded, especially as they compare to other examples of the same issue. Any number of factors can influence (decrease or increase) the value of early large cents, including mint-made problems (planchet flaws, poor strikes, etc.) and post-mint problems (corrosion, improper cleaning, environmental damage, and more). The prices listed here are intended to serve as a guideline and starting point for discussion and negotiations of valuation, but the CDN editors strongly encourage buyers to seek expert advice in this field before purchasing coins of high value.Our Sponsors
