Braided Hair Cents are a specific type of one-cent coin produced by the United States Mint, minted in Philadelphia from 1839 to 1857. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, these coins feature a portrait of Liberty with braided hair on the obverse, while the reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination. The Braided Hair Cent is notable for its transition from the earlier designs and is a popular collectible among numismatists, especially those interested in 19th-century American coinage.
