A historic 1837 Coronet Head Large Cent, also known as a Matron Head Large Cent, featuring Liberty wearing a coronet on the obverse. The reverse displays a wreath surrounding the denomination “ONE CENT.”
This example is graded Fair (FR), showing heavy circulation wear with substantial loss of detail, while the date and major design elements remain identifiable. Struck in copper, this large cent is a fascinating example of early American coinage and an excellent addition to a collection of 19th-century U.S. cents.
