    Description

    This is an 1842 Braided Hair Large Cent that needs cleaning.  This coin is considered Very Fine by Ruddy Photograde book due to clear liberty,  cords visible and hair detail.   It is a Philadelphia Mint Cent from my father's small collection of monies given to me prior to his passing in 1990. I have to downsize myself now so I am selling the collection here.     Hair lines are present though they are slightly worn at top of head and over ear. . Wreath has detail on top leaves  According to my Yeoman's book from 2021, only 2.39  million coins from that year were minted originally.
    If you win this coin and are not happy when you see it, please email  through Ebay and return it for a full refund.   The coin will be shipped in a padded envelope backed by cardboard and sent via First Class Mail
    Happy bidding.
