Description

Discover a remarkable piece of American history with this 1830 Coronet Head Large Cent, graded as Very Good (V.G.). The coin exhibits significant, even wear, consistent with its age and extensive circulation, giving it a unique character. On the obverse, the date '1830' and all 13 stars are clearly visible, while details in Liberty's hair are worn smooth. The word 'LIBERTY' on the headband is partially legible. The reverse features clear lettering and a complete wreath, though finer details are soft. This coin has a dark, even patina and appears free of major distracting damage such as harsh cleaning or corrosion. Its 'Very Good' grade makes it a solid addition to any collection. Struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia, this piece showcases the Coronet Head design, a modification by the talented Christian Gobrecht of an earlier design by Robert Scot. An essential staple of early 19th-century American commerce, this large cent reflects the history and artistry of its time. Inventory #17.
