The Braided Hair large cent was a one cent denomination of U.S. currency that was minted from 1839-1857. Designed by Chief Mint Engraver Christian Gobrecht, the Braided Hair pattern featured a profiled bust of Liberty appearing more youthful and slimmer than the previous ‘Classic Head’ design on the obverse. Thirteen stars encircle Liberty representing the original thirteen colonies, with the date appearing below the neck. The reverse depicts the denomination ‘ONE CENT’’ encircled by a berried wreath, and ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ on the outer fields. Collectors will note the many variations in this series, in particular the “Slanting 5’s” vs. “Upright 5’s” on pieces dated 1855 & 1856 which was probably the work of an apprentice at the mint. Other varieties include small and large lettered legends and small, medium and tall dates on pieces dated 1846. All Braided Hair large cents were struck at the Philadelphia mint, and therefore lack a mintmark. Parameters set for the Braided Hair large cent: 100% Copper composition, a total weight of 10.89 grams, diameter of 27.5 mm and featured a plain edge.
