What is a 1842-P Braided Hair Penny?
The 1842-P Proof Braided Hair Penny is a coin that was produced 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. The mintage of this coin is unknown and is therefore considered very rare at a minimum. This coin does not contain any notable amounts of precious metals.
