The 1851 Braided Hair Cent is a notable example of U.S. collectible coins. Designed by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht, this one-cent coin features a portrait of Liberty with braided hair on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. Produced during a period of significant change in American coinage, the Braided Hair design was used from 1839 to 1857, with the 1851 edition being one of the more sought-after examples among collectors. Its historical significance, combined with varying mintages, influences its value in the numismatic market.
