The Braided Hair Cent is a type of American coin that was produced from 1839 to 1857 and features a design by engraver James B. Longacre. The 1853 Braided Hair Cent is notable for its larger size and weight compared to previous cents, reflecting shifts in minting practices during the mid-19th century. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance and distinctive design, which showcases Liberty with braided hair on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The demand for these cents is driven by both their numismatic value and their representation of a transitional period in U.S. coinage.
