1801 Large Cent Fine
This early American copper cent, struck in 1801 at the Philadelphia Mint, offers a tangible look into the early days of United States coinage.

The obverse features the Classic Head Liberty design, accompanied by the clearly legible 1801 date at the bottom of the coin. On the reverse, a delicate wreath encircles the central denomination inscription of ONE CENT, which is bordered by the perimeter legend reading UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This specific piece has survived more than two centuries and is preserved in Fine condition.
