The Coronet Head Large Cent, produced from 1816 to 1857, features a design by engraver Robert Scot. The 1837 issue is particularly notable as it showcases the iconic image of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet, surrounded by the inscription "United States of America." The Large Cent series, including the 1 cent denomination, was composed of 100% copper and was one of the largest coins produced by the U.S. Mint during that period. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance, intricate design, and variations in minting that reflect early American coinage practices.
