1840 Braided Hair Large Cent – Philadelphia Mint – Authentic Early American Copper Coin
This genuine 1840 Braided Hair Large Cent is a classic piece of early American coinage struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the presidency of Martin Van Buren. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, it features Liberty facing left with braided hair and a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by stars, with the date below. The reverse displays a wreath enclosing ONE CENT and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border. These large copper cents circulated widely as everyday pocket change through the 1840s and beyond. The example shown has seen heavy use over the years, with significant wear on the design elements, yet remains a solid, historical type coin that appeals to collectors of early U.S. copper.
