The Braided Hair Cents, minted from 1839 to 1857, are a type of copper coin produced by the United States to replace the older style of large cents. The 1852 Braided Hair Cent features a portrait of Liberty with a braided hairstyle on the obverse, while the reverse showcases a wreath encircling the denomination. Collectors value these coins not only for their historical significance but also for their varying conditions, mint marks, and the nuances in design that reflect the era's artistry and craftsmanship. The 1 One Dollar coin, though not directly associated with the Braided Hair Cents, reflects a different period of U.S. numismatic history and is part of various iconic dollar coin series.
