Braided Hair Cents are a type of one-cent coin produced by the United States Mint, designed by Christian Gobrecht. Minted from 1840 to 1857, these coins feature a portrait of Lady Liberty with a braided hairstyle on the obverse, while the reverse displays a simple wreath. The 1846 Braided Hair Cent is particularly notable for its rarity in high grades, making it a sought-after piece among collectors of early American coins. The design reflects the aesthetic transition in American numismatics during the mid-19th century.
