What is a 1857-P Braided Hair Half Cent Coin?
The 1857-P Proof Braided Hair Half Cent Coin is a coin that was manufactured 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 such a low mintage of only 266, there are likely few of these items available for purchase or at auction in a year. This coin was the last one produced of the Braided Hair Half Cents series. This coin does not contain any notable amounts of precious metals.Coin Specifications
