1837 Large Cent VG
In 1837, the United States Mint in Philadelphia produced a significant run of copper Large Cents, totaling over 3.4 million pieces. This particular issue showcases the Classic Head Liberty on its obverse, a design conceived by John Reich that presents a distinct profile of Liberty wearing a band inscribed with her name. The classic portrait offers a window into the aesthetic preferences of early nineteenth-century American coinage. The reverse of the coin is framed by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA running along the outer perimeter. At the center, a delicate wreath encircles the denomination, ONE CENT. Surviving in Very Good condition, this copper piece carries the natural wear of a coin that circulated widely during a dynamic period of American history, making it a fascinating object of study for those intrigued by early copper issues.
