1793 to 1857 Large Cent

As a result, Liberty head hair was changed and the chain was replaced with a wreath. This design was known as Wreath Cent. However this design fared little better than its predecessor and was soon replaced. The Liberty Cap design turned out to be a little more stable and was minted from 1794 to 1796.

The best place to purchase large cent coins is at eBay. Most of these coins are very expensive in the better grades and rare years. However, if you just want one or two for your collection look for large cents dated from about 1800 to 1857 in the lower grades of about good, good or very good. You should be able to find a specimen for your collection in the $10.00 to $25.00 range.
