1816-1839 Coronet Head Cent P-1

The Coronet Head Cent, minted from 1816 to 1839, represents an important chapter in early American coinage. Designed with a classic portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY," these large cents were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and circulated widely throughout the young nation. This example is graded P-1, placing it at the very bottom of the grading scale — a well-worn piece that has seen extensive circulation. At this grade, the coin retains its basic type identity and outline, making it an accessible entry point for type collectors or those interested in early U.S. copper coinage.

Coin Grading is Subjective, and should be treated as an opinion of grade. We use ANA Grading Standards as our Reference.
