United States 1 Cent "Flowing Hair Cent", 1793

1 Cent from United States. Issued in 1793. Struck in Copper. Measures 27 mm and weighs 13.48 g.

Obverse

The "Flowing Hair" Liberty head on the right, and the vintage. In spite of a big work of remodelling of the head, this design did not meet more success. It was abandoned for good afterwards. There is a branch above the date. On some very rare pieces, there are strawberry leaves with a bud instead. See comments for more details.

Reverse

The face value (in all letters) surrounded by a plant crown. This design was well received by the public. The fraction is now under the bow of the ribbon.

Edge

Vine made of leaves and flutes or the words "ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR" followed by a single or double leaf.
