1847 Braided Hair Large Cent 1C XF Extremely Fine Toned Copper Early US Penny

The Braided Hair large cent was struck from 1839 to 1857 and was the last of the big copper cents before the small cent replaced it. This 1847 comes from the Philadelphia Mint.

This exact coin grades XF in our opinion, with LIBERTY mostly readable and good detail in the hair strands and bead cords. It has olive-brown surfaces with red and violet toning and some iridescence. There are light hairlines on the cheek and neck, a small dark nick on the rim below the 8 of the date, and a few light marks in the reverse field. Please view all of the close-up photos.

The writing on the flip this coin came in is from a previous owner. That is how we received the coin, and any grade or notes written on the flip are not ours.

SHIPPINGEvery coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEEWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT USContact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMERWe arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
