The Braided Hair Cent is a type of one-cent coin produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857. The 1852 Braided Hair Cent was minted in Philadelphia and features a portrait of Liberty wearing a braid of hair on the obverse, while the reverse displays a simple wreath encompassing the denomination. This coin represents a transitional period in U.S. coinage and is sought after by collectors, particularly in higher grades. Its historical significance and distinctive design make it a notable example of mid-19th century American numismatics.
