Large Cents from the early nineteenth century represent some of the first copper coinage struck by the United States Mint. The Coronet Head design also known as the Matron Head type circulated heavily in everyday commerce making solid original examples increasingly difficult to locate today.
This piece shows clear date and legends with Liberty portrait and reverse wreath fully outlined. The Small Date variety adds additional collector interest and demand. The surfaces display honest circulation wear with smooth texture and natural brown copper color that many early copper collectors prefer.
