1823-P (Philadelphia) Coronet Head Cents

Coin / United States of America / 1823 / Philadelphia / Coronet Head Cents / 1¢ (One Cent, Penny)

The coin in question is a 1823 Coronet Head Cent, minted at the Philadelphia Mint, which is identified by the 'P' mint mark. It belongs to the series of coins known as Coronet Head Cents, a type of one-cent piece produced in the United States during the early 19th century. This particular coin has a denomination of 1¢ (One Cent, Penny) and is made of copper, weighing approximately 10.89 grams. The 1823 Coronet Head Cent is part of a striking mint production type, reflecting the craftsmanship of that era. Its historical significance stems from its age and the design elements that characterize the Coronet Head series, which features a depiction of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet. Unfortunately, the mintage data indicates a production amount of ‘0’, which suggests that the coin may be rare or unreported in regular mintage records, potentially heightening its value for collectors. The condition and specific grading of this coin would further determine its market value, but overall, it represents an important piece of American numismatic history from the early 19th century.
