NGC Graded Large Cents
Large cents have earned a spot in history as the first coins ever minted by the United States government on its own equipment and premises. They were minted from 1793 to 1857 at the mint in Philadelphia, the only U.S. Mint at the time. In 1815, however, a fire at the mint prevented the coin from being produced that year. People of that time period didn't like to carry the coins because they were so large and cumbersome. And they were also fairly heavy. (Read more below listings)

The weight of a dollar's worth of these coins is about three pounds. These large coins have become an interesting part of history however, because they show us the value of money during this era. At the time they were in circulation, the coin was not called the "Large Cent". It was just the one cent coin of the day. Today it is called a large cent by coin collectors because compared to our modern day "penny", it is huge. This coin is larger that the modern quarter.
