1845 Braided Hair Large Cent – Philadelphia Mint – Authentic Early American Copper Coin
This genuine 1845 Braided Hair Large Cent is a classic piece of early American coinage struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the presidency of James K. Polk. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, it features Liberty facing left with braided hair and a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by stars and the date below. The reverse displays a wreath enclosing ONE CENT with 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 and a lighter appearance, yet remains a solid historical type coin that appeals to collectors of early U.S. copper.
