When people complained about the 1793 Flowing Hair Chain Reverse Large Cent as a bad omen for liberty, the Mint quickly replaced the chain with a wreath. It lasted only a short while too, replaced by the Liberty Cap Large Cent before the end of 1793.

The 1793 Flowing Hair Wreath Reverse Large Cent is viewed by coin collectors as a highly desirable acquisition.

Prices are relatively high to purchase a Wreath Cent, with the “Strawberry Cent” variety being one the most valuable of all rare US coins.
