This 1853 Philadelphia issue (mintage 6,641,131) circulated in the decade before the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exact coin stands out for its \u003cb\u003eattractive, smooth chocolate-brown surfaces\u003c\/b\u003e — no heavy marks or porosity that plague so many large cents. Moderate even wear leaves the braided hair, stars, and wreath clear, consistent with the Fine letter grade.

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.\n\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"background:#f4f1ea;border:1px solid #ddd6c4;border-radius:6px;padding:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"color:#0f3d2e;display:block;margin-bottom:4px;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eRETURNS \/ GUARANTEE\u003c\/b\u003e\nWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy.
