Braided Hair Cents were a type of one-cent coin minted in the United States from 1839 to 1857. The 1841 Braided Hair Cent features a design with a portrait of Liberty wearing a braided hairstyle on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. This coin is notable for its copper composition and is sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and variations in minting. The Braided Hair design was one of the last large cents produced before the introduction of smaller coinage in the 1850s.
