1816-1835 Coronet Head Large Cent Good

Product Description

Big, bold and brimming with early American character, these 1816-1839 Coronet (or Matron) Head large cents are where history gets heavy (quite literally) in the hand. Almost the size and weight of modern half dollars, these surviving copper pennies are a tangible link to a growing nation. Think about this – when the first Coronet coppers were struck, the U.S. Mint had less than 25 years of operations under its belt! Advancements in minting techniques led to many modifications during the 1816-1839 series, creating a fascinating number of variations for today's collectors to pursue. Good quality. Our choice of date and/or type based on availability.
