The Braided Hair Cents were produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857, featuring a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1847 Braided Hair Cent is particularly notable, as it represents a transition in design and was minted during a time of significant monetary reform in the U.S. This coin typically features Lady Liberty wearing a braided hair style on the obverse and a simple wreath on the reverse. The ten-dollar coins from this era, such as the Liberty Head or the Indian Head designs, were primarily used for larger transactions and play a significant role in both numismatic history and value appreciation among collectors.
