1853 Large Cent - VF
Add a classic piece of 19th-century American copper coinage to your collection with this 1853 Braided Hair Large Cent in Very Fine (VF) condition. Struck from pure copper, this historic one-cent piece comes from the final years of America's large copper pennies, which were replaced by smaller cents in 1857.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by 13 stars. The reverse displays the denomination ONE CENT within a decorative wreath, encircled by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
In Very Fine (VF) condition, this coin exhibits moderate circulation wear while retaining well-defined design elements, including visible detail in Liberty's hair and the reverse wreath. Its historic 1853 date, classic Braided Hair design, and substantial copper composition make it an appealing addition to any Large Cent collection or early American U.S. coin type set.
