1851 Braided Hair Large Cent Authentic Pre-Civil War Copper Coin

Struck at the height of the historic California Gold Rush, this stunning 1851 Braided Hair Large Cent represents a phenomenal era in American history. As gold flooded the U.S. economy, silver coins were hoarded and exported, forcing the Philadelphia Mint to aggressively expand production of pure copper large cents to fulfill daily merchant demands. This raw piece of early Americana features Christian Gobrecht's classic Liberty design on the obverse and an elegant laurel wreath enclosing the face value on the reverse. Surviving for more than 170 years through the Civil War and the birth of modern America, this heavy, vintage copper cent boasts great visual details that make it a perfect historical centerpiece for any collection. Add this classic piece of U.S. numismatic history to your portfolio securely via Gold & Silver Assay.
