1837 Large Cent Plain Cord, Medium Letters XF
In 1837, the United States Mint produced a copper cent that stands as a compelling example of early American coinage. This specific variety, classified as the Plain Cord with Medium Letters, showcases the artistry of the era. The obverse features a classic profile of Liberty facing left, her hair secured with a band inscribed with her name. Thirteen stars encircle the portrait, representing the original colonies, with the year 1837 struck clearly at the bottom. The reverse of this copper coin is dedicated to its denomination, featuring the words ONE CENT nestled inside a continuous wreath. Encircling this central design is the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This particular specimen is preserved in Extra Fine condition, allowing observers to appreciate the fine details of the foliage and the crispness of the lettering that have survived for nearly two centuries.
