1828 Large Cent Lg Date VG
In 1828, the United States Mint in Philadelphia produced a copper one cent piece that captures the spirit of early American circulating money. This substantial copper coin belongs to the Matron Head series, which spanned the years from 1816 to 1835. The design, attributed to either Robert Scot or John Reich, reflects the evolving artistic style of a young nation establishing its identity. The front of the coin features a dignified profile of Liberty, facing right, encircled by thirteen stars that represent the original colonies. Below this central image is the prominent year of 1828. On the reverse, the denomination of ONE CENT is encircled by a simple, elegant wreath, which is itself surrounded by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This particular specimen survives in Very Good condition, offering a tangible connection to the daily commerce of the late 1820s.
