Classic Head Cents were issued by the United States Mint from 1808 to 1814, featuring a design by engraver John Reich. The 1814 Classic Head Cent, struck in Philadelphia, is notable for its distinctive flowing hair and the round shape of the letters in "United States of America." This coin is part of the larger category of one cent pieces known as "pennies," and its limited mintage and historical context make it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. The Classic Head design represents a transitional phase in American coinage, reflecting changes in artistic style and public preferences during the early 19th century.
