The Braided Hair Cent is a design used for the United States one-cent coin, struck from 1839 to 1857. The version minted in Philadelphia in 1850 features a portrait of Liberty with intricately braided hair. This coin is notable for its composition of copper and is often collected for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal among numismatists. The Braided Hair Cent is part of a transitional period in U.S. coinage, reflecting changes in design and minting techniques during the mid-19th century.
