Scarce and desirable as a short-lived series. High grade examples of classic head large cents of any date are especially scarce due to poorly made planchets composed of soft copper.

Reverse Description
Laurel wreath surrounded by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the periphery. The denomination ONE CENT centered in the wreath with a line underdeath.
