1855 - Coins

The Braided Hair Large Cent was produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857, with the 1855 issue being one of the notable coins in this series. These coins feature a design with Liberty wearing a braided hairstyle on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The 1 cent denomination was made of copper and weighs 10.89 grams. The Braided Hair design represents a transition in American coinage, reflecting the changing aesthetic preferences of the mid-19th century. The 1855 Braided Hair Large Cent is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relatively low mintage figures for the era.
