Large Cents are where American coinage begins. Struck from 1793 to 1857, these big copper coins were the first one-cent pieces produced by the United States Mint — hand-engraved, hand-struck, and full of the character that only comes from the earliest years of a new nation.
At Bourbon Bullion & Coins, every Large Cent is individually photographed and honestly described. We love early American copper, and we select for eye appeal, originality, and collector value.
Flowing Hair & Liberty Cap (1793–1796) — the rarest and most historically significant Large Cent designs
Draped Bust (1796–1807) — elegant early designs with strong collector appeal and wide variety options
Classic Head (1808–1814) — a bold transitional design, scarcer than later issues
Coronet Head (1816–1839) — the most accessible Large Cent design with a wide range of dates and varieties
Braided Hair (1839–1857) — the final Large Cent design, including the last year of issue in 1857
From entry-level circulated examples to better date and variety pieces, there's something here for every early copper collector.
