Discover a remarkable piece of American numismatic history with this 1828 Large Cent, featuring the distinctive "Large Date" variety. Originally minted from 1793 until 1857, with the exception of the rare 1815, the large cent has long been a cherished coin among collectors.  
When the United States engaged in the War of 1812 against Great Britain, the mint faced significant challenges. A wartime embargo on copper imports halted the supply of essential planchets, impacting coin production during this critical period. Despite these interruptions, the large cent remained a staple in daily currency.  
This particular 1828 Large Cent displays very good details, albeit with a cleaned surface that enhances its visual appeal. An excellent choice for both casual collectors and serious numismatists, this coin not only represents a fascinating era in American history but also serves as a tangible reminder of the resilience of the early U.S. Mint.
