The 1847 Braided Hair half cent is an elusive proof-only issue. Both Originals and Restrikes are known. Originals are identified by large berries in the wreath, while Restrikes have small berries in the wreath. There are two variations of proof restrikes. First Restrikes have a doubled T in CENT, and for 1847 are extremely rare. Second Restrikes have short die marks over RICA of AMERICA. This offering is an example of the Second Restrike. In hand, it’s noticeably lighter, as well as more colorful than seen in our images. The NGC population is only 2 with 4 graded higher.
