Own a genuine piece of 18th-century American history. Struck at the original Philadelphia Mint during the presidency of George Washington, this 1795 Liberty Cap Large Cent is a prized early copper issue. Cataloged by Dr. William H. Sheldon as S-77, this specific die variety features Joseph Wright’s iconic Liberty Cap design with the lettered edge omitted—struck on the standard plain planchet used as copper prices rose in late 1795.

Struck on pure native copper, 1795 large cents represent the foundational era of United States federal coinage. In an honest About Good (AG-3) state of preservation, this coin displays two centuries of authentic circulation wear while retaining key identifying design features and full variety attribution. For collectors assembling an early copper type set or working on a Sheldon variety collection, this 230+ year-old treasure delivers immense history and character at an accessible price.
