The 1816 Coronet Head Cent is a notable type of collectible coin minted in Philadelphia as part of the early U.S. penny series. It features a design known as the Coronet Head, which depicts Lady Liberty wearing a coronet. The 1816 cent is particularly significant as it marks the beginning of the series that was produced with this design, reflecting the early United States' efforts in coin production and artistry. Collectors often seek this coin for its historical value, numismatic significance, and representation of early American currency. The "Three Dollars" reference typically pertains to the $3 gold pieces, which while separate in type, exemplify the diverse array of coinage issued in the early 19th century by the United States.
