Discover the rich history encapsulated in the 1849 Large Cent, an iconic coin that represents the early years of American numismatics. Struck every year from 1793 to 1857, with the exception of 1815, the Large Cent was pivotal during the early formation of the United States minting process.  

This collectible piece of American history bears witness to the impact of the War of 1812 on coinage, which led to significant challenges in sourcing new copper planchets due to a wartime embargo against shipments from Great Britain.
