What is a 1839-P Braided Hair Penny?
The 1839-P Proof Braided Hair Penny is a coin that was minted at the Philadelphia mint. It has a legal tender value of $0.01. As a "Proof" coin, it was produced in a limited quantity, which makes it generally more rare than "business strike" or "mint strike" coins which are intended for use in daily transactions. With a relatively low mintage of 3,128,661, this coin is considered to be collectible and is sought after by many collectors, but does not usually attract serious investors. This coin was minted in the first year of its series, and is a more popular coin to collectors for that reason, but not necessarily to investors. This coin does not contain any notable amounts of precious metals.Coin Specifications
