The Braided Hair Cents were minted in the United States from 1839 to 1857, with the 1841 variety being particularly notable among collectors. These coins featured a design by Christian Gobrecht, showcasing Lady Liberty with a braided hairstyle on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The three-dollar gold piece, also known as the "three dollar gold coin," was briefly minted in the mid-19th century and is a rare collectible. Collectors often pursue these coins for their historical significance, unique designs, and limited mintage.
