The Braided Hair Cents were minted in the United States from 1840 to 1857, featuring a design created by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1841 Braided Hair Cent, produced in Philadelphia, is notable for its intricate depiction of Lady Liberty with braided hair on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. These coins are sought after by collectors, with the 1841 issue being a significant date within the series due to its historical relevance and limited survival rate. Collectors often focus on factors such as condition, rarity, and provenance when valuing these collectible cents.
