UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, copper Braided Hair Liberty Head large cent (encrusted), date not visible, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Central America Shipwreck Label). 10.75 grams. Nearly completely encrusted "biscuit" yet with just enough open area on the front to allow us to identify it as a Braided Hair Liberty Head large cent (1839-57). This is the first example of a copper U.S. coin from the SS Central America that we are aware of and among very few copper coins recovered from any U.S. shipwreck. Recovered from: S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 off North Carolina
