The 1836 large cent was produced in solid quantity. The Coronet Head design had been in use for twenty years at this point, and the dies were being prepared by a mature team familiar with the design. The coin is available in circulated grades and does not present unusual difficulty for date collectors.
The 1836 sits near the end of the Coronet Head series, which would continue through 1839 with progressive design modifications before giving way to the Braided Hair type. Changes to the portrait's proportions and hair treatment in the mid-to-late 1830s are subtle but recognizable to specialists who study the series in detail.
