This coin has a nice brown color with great detail. Liberty is mostly visible. Please note that there is damage on the reverse, yet the coin looks nice.

Braided Hair, or Late Dates (1839?1857) Facing more negative public reaction, the Coronet cents were redesigned in 1835 by new Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. This gave the obverse of Liberty a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Tweaks continued through 1843, and the overall 1843 design prevailed through the end of mintage in 1857. Some 11 years after the large cent was discontinued, a mint employee coined several large cents dated 1868, almost certainly for sale as instant rarities to numismatists. Fewer than a dozen of these unofficial issues, struck in both bronze and copper-nickel, are known to survive
