The Braided Hair Half Cent is a type of collectible coin minted in the United States from 1839 to 1857, with the 1853 issue being among the earlier designs. It features a depiction of Lady Liberty with braided hair on the obverse, symbolizing strength and freedom, while the reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination. These coins, made of copper, are highly sought after by collectors due to their age, design, and historical significance within U.S. numismatics. Given their low mintage in certain years and the overall decline in half cent production, they can be valuable additions to any coin collection.
