U.S. Large Cent Coins
(1793 - 1857)
U.S. One-Cent coinage has been a cornerstone of American commerce since the nation’s earliest years, first issued in 1793. The cent has undergone numerous design, size, and composition changes, reflecting evolving economic conditions, metal availability, and artistic trends. From early large copper cents to today’s small Lincoln cents, the one-cent piece tells a continuous story of American history, making it one of the most collected and studied denominations in U.S. numismatics.
