1821 Coronet Large Cent (1c)

Warm chocolate-brown with subtle olive and walnut undertones, this example shows even, honest wear and notably smooth fields for the grade. Detail remains bold where it should, the legends are strong, and the surfaces look fully original with no signs of mishandling. Eye appeal is confidently above average for a VF cent, with a wholesome, matched patina on both sides. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder. If you like your early copper straight-up and undisturbed, this coin delivers.
