1855 Braided Hair Large Cent 1C – Upright 55 – PCGS MS64 RB – Choice Mint State

The 1855 Braided Hair Large Cent – Upright 55 variety is one of the most recognized and collected date-style distinctions within the series. The upright, evenly aligned digits in the date contrast clearly with the slanted style, making this a variety that collectors actively seek—especially in true Mint State.

Certified PCGS MS64 RB, this coin is a legitimate choice uncirculated early copper, not a borderline piece. Luster remains strong and original, flowing evenly across both sides. Surfaces are clean for the grade with no distractions, and the red-brown color is natural and well-balanced, enhancing eye appeal without overpowering the design.

Mint State large cents with this level of preservation are not casual finds. This is a correct, high-quality Upright 55 that checks every box for collectors who want originality, eye appeal, and certified accuracy—no stories required.
