The Best Place to Sell Large Cents !

These Large cents are sometimes called Big pennies or large pennies but this is not the correct wording for these coins. They are what they say they are and that is One Cent. Just look at the back and read the words. But with the size much bigger than the one cents (pennies) we use today. So, numismatics and coin dealers call these old coins ( Large Cents).At RGCD we pay top dollar for all better Large cents and early Large cents too.Please offer us any large cent coins you have for sale. We are ANA Professionally Qualified NGC Rare Coin Dealers in Raleigh,NC. 

First struck in 1793, the large cent was coined every year from 1793 to 1857 except 1815; When the United States declared war in 1812 against Great Britain, coinage was affected. The wartime embargo against shipments made it so the mint could not get any new copper planchets, which were imported from Great Britain, to strike coins.The mint made do with what supply it had and struck coins into 1815. After the war ended in 1815, the mint wasted no time in ordering new planchets. For an unknown reason no coins were dated 1815 from the supply the mint had in the interim.In addition to the copper shortage, people also hoarded precious metals during the war. Large cents were made of nearly pure copper, or copper as pure as it emerged from smelting, without any deliberate addition of other metals (such as occurs in bronze).So early on all Large cents were RED in color.Later after circulation many of these large cents turned red and brown in color. Today most old large cents are a brown color because of  people's hands or to be the most accurate because of the oil on them.

One of our needed coins right now are the Coronet Head Large Cents 

these cents were minted from 1816-1836. The front or more correctly the obverse featured the head of Miss Liberty, facing to the left. Her appearance is much more mature and the head design has been the basis of much criticism. The late Walter Breen called it “a spectacularly ugly head of Ms. Liberty”, at Raleigh Gold Coin Dealers Louis finds this design rather nice and mature. We buy these cents in high grade because we understand these are valuable pennies.Miss Liberty wears a headband, inscribed with the word LIBERTY, and thirteen stars surrounding her near the rim. The date is at the bottom of the coin on the obverse. This design would last until 1836, when Christian Gobrecht, best known for his design work on the Liberty Seated silver coinage, would make some modifications.

Indian Head Cents ( Pennies )

    Louis Gouchie: Indian Head Cents were first produced in 1859. The obverse depiction of a  American Indian is actually a head of Miss Liberty with an Indian chief's headdress and just called a Indian Head Cent. The following year in 1860 the wreath was changed or altered and a  shield was added to the top part of the reverse or back of the penny. The first 5 years of the Indian Head cents 1859-1864  the pennies were made from a mixture of copper-nickel. The planchets or blanks were thicker and also the color was different from the older copper minted large cents from the years before. Late In 1864 the weight of the Indian cent was reduced because the metal composition reverted back to bronze, which is a copper alloy. At Raleigh Gold Coin Dealers we sell & buy all others early Indian Head pennies. What interesting history they hold. From late 1864 till 1908 not much changed on this coin. All the cents were minted in Philadelphia and used in daily commerce from coast to coast. Then in 1908 and and in 1909 these Indian Cents Cents were minted in San Francisco CA. The S-Mints are scarcer than the Philadelphia minted cents.  We are ANA Professionally Qualified NGC Coin Dealers in Raleigh,NC. Experts in the study of Indian Head Cents.
