1829 Large Cent Lg Letters VF
The year 1829 marked a fascinating era in early American coining, represented beautifully by this copper Large Cent. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this substantial copper piece showcases the artistry of Christian Gobrecht. The obverse displays a classic profile of Liberty, her hair neatly styled with a braid, surrounded by stars and the date 1829 stamped below the portrait. On the reverse, a delicate wreath encircles the denomination, which is spelled out clearly as "ONE CENT". Encircling this central wreath is the legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". This particular specimen is preserved in Very Fine condition, allowing observers to appreciate the specific "Large Letters" lettering variety and the bold engraving details that have survived for nearly two centuries.
