About this coinHistory

The 1825 large cent continues the steady production of the mid-1820s Coronet Head series. The mintage was solid, and the coin is available in circulated grades without unusual difficulty. No significant varieties or production anomalies distinguish the 1825 from its neighbors.

The coin serves its function in a date set: it fills the year, it represents the design, and it does both at a moderate cost. Good to Fine is the standard grade range, with higher grades available for collectors willing to search.
