Copper Cent 1827 (VF) - 'Matron Head' Liberty (VF)

The obverse of the coin features Lady Liberty (Matron Head) facing left, wearing a headband inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Her hair is tied back, and the design reflects the neoclassical style of the time. Surrounding Liberty's head are 13 stars, representing the original 13 colonies.

On the reverse is a wreath of olive leaves, encircling the denomination ONE CENT in the center. Around the wreath is the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

This cent was minted when John Adams was the 6th US President and American settlers first began to move into the regions of the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest.
