<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 419784, member: 6036&quot;]This is an intriguing coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Usually, when there is a design change, it is very abrupt. Decisive. For instance, Large 1c -&gt; Flying Eagle -&gt; Indian Head -&gt; Lincoln. There&#039;s no confusing them; each design looks radically different from its predecessor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But here&#039;s what&#039;s cool about these 1836-1839 Large Cents : the change from Matron Head to Braided Hair is gradual. It slowly evolves from the 1816 look to the 1840&#039;s look.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In fact, this 1837 looks more like the Braided Hair than the Matron to me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think it would be interesting to collect a variety of Large Cents in the period 1836-1839 just to see that evolution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
