The Coronet Head Cent, produced from 1839 to 1857, features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht, showcasing a classic depiction of Lady Liberty. The coins are notable for their large cent format and are often collected for their historical significance and intricate details. The 1838 issue is particularly sought after due to its status as one of the earlier examples of the series, making it desirable among collectors of United States coins. While the five-dollar denomination is a separate classification, both types represent important periods in American numismatic history.
