A well-preserved 1844 Braided Hair Large Cent, featuring rich details and an appealing patina. A must-have for numismatists and U.S. coin collectors.

This 1844 Braided Hair Large Cent is a striking representation of early American coinage. It features Lady Liberty with finely detailed curls and a bold date. The reverse showcases the classic laurel wreath and “ONE CENT” inscription. This specimen has aged gracefully, displaying natural toning and even wear consistent with its Fine-12 grading. Large cents from the mid-19th century continue to gain interest among collectors, making this a solid addition to any historical coin portfolio.

The Braided Hair Large Cent was the final design of the U.S. Large Cent series, minted from 1839 to 1857 before being replaced by the Small Cent. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, this series is beloved for its refined depiction of Liberty and the transition it represents in early American coinage. The 1844 issue is particularly sought after for its consistent demand among collectors.
