1845 Liberty Head Large Cent
This authentic 1845 Braided Hair Large Cent was struck at the Philadelphia Mint during a pivotal time in American history—just before the Mexican-American War and amid rapid westward expansion and industrial growth. Featuring Christian Gobrecht’s classic Braided Hair Liberty obverse with 13 stars and the iconic wreath reverse enclosing “ONE CENT,” this pure copper piece served as everyday currency for merchants, farmers, and families in the mid-19th century. With a substantial mintage yet enduring collector appeal as a representative example of the final large cent design series (1839–1857), it offers genuine historical charm and tangible connection to pre-Civil War America. Even in circulated condition, this affordable classic is a must-have for U.S. type collectors, large cent enthusiasts, or anyone building a foundational collection of 19th-century copper coinage.
