The Braided Hair Half Cent, minted in the United States from 1840 to 1857, is notable for its distinctive design featuring a braided hairstyle on Lady Liberty's head. The 1841 issue is part of this series and is sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance. Half cents were struck in response to the need for small denomination coins in commerce and were ultimately phased out due to their low purchasing power. Collectibles in this series often draw interest for their striking details and well-preserved condition.
