🪙 1849 Braided Hair Large Cent
Classic American Copper | The "Little 4s" Era | Pre-Civil War Currency
This 1849 Braided Hair Large Cent is a heavy, substantial piece of American history from the mid-19th century. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during a period of massive westward expansion and the height of the Whig Party’s influence, this "Big Copper" was the workhorse of the U.S. economy. Featuring Christian Gobrecht’s refined Braided Hair design, it represents the final evolution of the large cent before the transition to smaller coinage.
