1827 Coronet Head Large Cent / Matron Head Liberty
Step back in time to the early American frontier with this wonderfully authentic 1827 Coronet Head Large Cent. Struck by the historic Philadelphia Mint during an era of foundational growth in the United States, this "Matron Head" early copper piece has likely seen decades of changing history, passing through the hands of early American tradesmen, pioneering families, and merchants. Possessing an incredibly charming chocolate-brown patina, this 100% pure copper coin exhibits honest, wholesome circulation wear that highlights the unmistakable profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and the classic complete wreath design on the reverse. Rather than hidden away in a safe, this coin spent its early life serving as a true workhorse of early American commerce. Don't miss your opportunity to own a tangible piece of pre-Civil War numismatic history to display proudly on your desk or add as a cornerstone favorite to your type collection!
