Artwork Description
1851 1C Large Cent AU 50 BN Graded Penny Coin Braided Hair Slabbed Authentic Rare Collectible.
This 1851 Large Cent in AU 50 BN condition exemplifies mid-19th century American coinage at an exceptional preservation level. The AU 50 grade indicates minimal wear concentrated only on the highest points, with substantial original luster remaining beneath the brown patina characteristic of copper coins of this era. The BN designation confirms natural oxidation rather than artificial processing. The 1851 date falls within the later Large Cent period, making it a bridge piece between early and transitional American copper coinage. With strong strike definition and excellent eye appeal, this coin appeals to collectors pursuing complete date sets, type collections, or those specializing in pre-Civil War numismatics.
