  United States Copper Cents 1816-1857 ▶ Books at Mintmark.com |
“LARGE CENT (UNITED STATES COIN)—The United States large cent was a coin with a face value of 1/100 of a United States dollar. Its diameter varied between 27mm and 29mm. The first official mintage of the large cent was in 1793, and its production continued until 1857, when it was officially replaced by the modern-size one-cent coin (commonly called the penny) . . .” — LARGE CENT (UNITED STATES COIN) AT WIKIPEDIA
“. . . Large cents were coined every year from 1793 to 1857 with the exception of 1815, when a lack of copper prevented production. All were coined at the Philadelphia Mint. Mintage records in some cases may be inaccurate, as many of the early pieces were struck later than the dates shown on the coins . . . Numerous other die varieties may be found because each of the early dies was individually made . . . Proof large cents were first made in 1817; all Proofs are rare, as they were not made available to the general public before the mid-1850s . . .” — A GUIDE BOOK OF UNITED STATES COINS
