A problem free circulated Braided Hair Large Cent from the 1st century of our country's existence. A great collectable.

The "US Braided Hair Large Cents" refers to a series of one-cent coins (pennies) that were minted by the United States Mint. These coins were produced from 1839 to 1857 and are sometimes referred to as "Braided Hair" cents because of the design on the obverse (front) of the coin, which features a depiction of Liberty with her hair braided.

The Braided Hair Large Cents replaced the earlier Matron Head Large Cents and were the last large-sized cents produced by the U.S. Mint. They were made of 100% copper and had a diameter of about 29 millimeters (slightly larger than modern-day pennies). The reverse of the coin featured a wreath and the words "One Cent."

These coins went through a few design changes during their production. In 1843, the size of the "1" in "One Cent" was reduced to make it more visually proportional, and in 1856, a more uniform and simplified laurel wreath design was introduced on the reverse. The series came to an end in 1857 when it was replaced by the smaller-sized Flying Eagle cent.

Braided Hair Large Cents can be collected as numismatic items, and their value can vary widely depending on factors such as the coin's condition, rarity, and historical significance. Some well-preserved and rare specimens can be quite valuable to collectors.
