The Flowing Hair Large Cent is a notable type of coin issued in the United States in 1793. It is one of the first official coinage pieces produced by the newly established U.S. Mint. The obverse features a portrait of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, while the reverse displays a simple design with a wreath. These coins are significant in American numismatic history due to their limited mintage and early production during the formative years of U.S. coinage. The 1 Cent denomination, particularly in its Flowing Hair design, is highly sought after by collectors.
