Rarely seen coins dating back to the early 1800’s…
All four large cent designs, including:
• Draped Bust. Designed by Robert Scot, the U.S. Mint’s first Chief Engraver, it features the denomination spelled out and as a fraction of a silver dollar (1/100).
• Classic Head. The lowest-mintage large cent made in the 1800’s, and the first one-cent coin to feature Liberty surrounded by 13 stars, representing the original states.
• Coronet Head. Briefly suspended after the War of 1812, production of large cents resumed in 1816 with Scot’s spectacular Liberty — the symbol of America.
• Braided Hair. The last large one-cent coin in U.S. history, Christian Gobrecht’s youthful Liberty design was last made in 1857.
• Coins that disappeared from circulation more than 150 years ago, rarely seen outside of fine museums and prestigious private collections.
• Presented in circulated condition, with the major design details intact.
