1841 Large Cent VG
In 1841, the United States Mint produced a copper one-cent piece that showcases a transition in American coin design. This substantial copper coin features the Braided Hair Liberty on its obverse side, a detailed portrait designed by Christian Gobrecht. The elegant profile of Liberty is depicted with her hair bound in a neat braid, secured by a band. On the reverse, the coin features a delicate wreath enclosing the denomination. The central inscription reads ONE CENT, which is encircled by the bold lettering UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This classic combination of a portrait and a wreath represents a defining era of early American copper coinage, minted at the Philadelphia facility.
