Description:
This 1847 Braided Hair Large Cent is a strong representative of mid-19th century American coinage, featuring Christian Gobrecht’s iconic Liberty design with braided hair and coronet. Minted in Philadelphia during a time of national growth and economic expansion, this issue circulated broadly and remains a collector favorite. The coin offered here is raw and uncertified, sourced from a private collection. Its well-defined devices and pleasing copper tone make it a handsome example of this popular date. High-resolution photography has been used to capture every detail of the obverse and reverse for full transparency and collector confidence.
