The Braided Hair Cent is a one-cent coin produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857, with 1854 being one of the notable years of issuance. The design features a profile of Liberty with braided hair on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse, symbolizing unity and citizenship. Coins minted in Philadelphia are distinguished by the absence of a mintmark, as the Philadelphia Mint was the original minting facility. The Braided Hair Cent is sought after by collectors for its historical significance and unique design.
