The Braided Hair Cent is a design type of the United States one cent coin, minted from 1840 to 1857. The 1848 Braided Hair Cent features a portrait of Liberty with braided hair on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. It is part of the larger series of large cents, known for their composition of 100% copper. The Braided Hair design was the last large cent type before the introduction of the small cent in 1856, making it significant for collectors interested in U.S. coinage history.
