The listing, 1842 BRAIDED HAIR UNITED STATES LARGE CENT "171 YEARS OLD" has ended.

1842 Braided Hair U.S. Large Cent "Large Date", 171 Years Old. For collectors, the Braided Hair large cent is a very consistent series. Over the course of its issue years of 1839 through 1857, there were no radical design changes, no years were skipped, and in only one year was there a noticeable falloff in mintage numbers. With Braided Hair large cents, you almost don’t have to worry about which ones are the better dates, or which ones are common. Virtually all the dates, save one, are common dates. But while this coin series may contain no great rarities, the Braided Hair large cent will forever go down in history as our nation’s last large cent. Please Grade for yourself. Not bad condition for a 171 Year old circulated coin. Free Shipping!

There was nothing penny-ante about the one cent piece in the mid-19th century: Its buying power was substantial. The famed King Ranch in Texas, for example, came into being in 1853 when steamboat captain Richard King bought 15,500 acres for just $300-less than two cents per acre. For working-class Americans, 10 cents an hour was a living wage, so people understandably watched their "pennies" closely.
