Braided Hair Cents are a type of one-cent coin minted by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857. Designed by engraver Christian Gobrecht, these coins feature a depiction of Liberty wearing a braided hair style on the obverse, while the reverse showcases a simple wreath surrounding the denomination. The 1857 Braided Hair Cent marks the final year of this specific design, after which it was replaced by the Indian Head Cent. Collectors value them for their historical significance and the artistry of their design.
