About
The U.S. large cent, first minted in 1793, was the nation's first official coin and played a crucial role in early American commerce. Made entirely of copper, it symbolized the young country's economic independence, with various designs of Lady Liberty reflecting evolving national values. Though discontinued in 1857 due to rising copper costs and practicality concerns, the large cent remains highly valued by collectors for its historical significance. Learn More
