History of the Artifact

From 1793 to 1857, the cent was a large copper coin, about the size of an American half dollar. In 1858, the design of the coin was switched to be smaller and more practical, creating the famous Indian head penny. During the Civil War, Americans hoarded this coin for its nickel content, a metal whose price skyrocketed as a result of the war.
