USA (Philadelphia Mint), Braided Hair Liberty Head large cent, date not visible, NGC Genuine / 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 US coin from the SS Central America that we are aware of and among very few copper coins recovered from any US shipwreck. Recovered from: S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 in deep water off North Carolina
