The 1829 Large Cent is a significant piece in American numismatic history, representing an enduring legacy of U.S. coinage. Struck in the early 19th century, this penny exemplifies designs that have fascinated collectors for generations. The Large Cent series, first minted in 1793, was produced annually until 1857, with the notable exception of 1815 due to wartime constraints.  
  
During the War of 1812, an embargo on copper shipments from Great Britain led to a shortage of planchets, which affected production and availability. This particular 1829 Large Cent features medium letters, indicative of its series design, and presents with fine details that collectors find appealing, despite being noted as improperly cleaned.  
  
Whether you are a seasoned collector or a novice investor, this Large Cent is a fantastic addition to any collection, offering both historical significance and a glimpse into the complexities of early American currency. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of U.S. history!
