Philadelphia - Coins

The Braided Hair Cent is a one-cent coin minted by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857. The 1856 Braided Hair Cent, produced in Philadelphia, features a portrait of Lady Liberty with a braid, symbolizing elegance and strength. This coin is part of the large cent series, which were larger and heavier coins compared to modern pennies, and it was designed by engraver James B. Longacre. Collectors value the Braided Hair Cents for their historical significance and distinctive design, particularly as they were among the last large cents produced before the introduction of the smaller Indian Head cent.
