1818 Large Cent Fine
In 1818, the Philadelphia Mint produced this copper one cent piece, a substantial coin from the early decades of United States coinage. Struck in pure copper, this coin represents the classic Large Cent series, which circulated widely in the young nation before the introduction of smaller, modern pennies. The obverse side of the coin features the Matron Head portrait of Liberty, facing right, with her hair bound and the word LIBERTY clearly inscribed above her. Below the portrait, the date 1818 is prominently displayed, marking its year of origin. On the reverse, a delicate wreath encircles the denomination ONE CENT. Surrounding this central design, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is struck along the outer perimeter. This specific coin has been preserved in Fine condition, showing honest wear that highlights its long journey through early American commerce.
