Rare Coin: US 1847 Braided Hair Large Cent XF: 1.15 BTC [Slabbed]

Alright,
For a long time I've wished there were people offering rare coins on here for BTC. I don't know if the interest isn't there or if it just isn't there yet. So I figured I'd post this one and see how it does. I'm selling a Slabbed 1847 Braided Hair Cent in XF (extra fine) condition. I'm asking 1.15BTC shipped. This coin is an extremely popular one to collect, and a good "beginner" coin. If interested, PM me!

Are these 'large cents'?? I've never seen one but my dad used to collect and told me the cents were bigger back in the 1800's

Yeah, exactly. Sometimes they're wrongly called "Coronet" cents. "Large Cent" is the formal term, "Braided Hair Cent" is the informal one. "Coronet" coins are ones with the same female profile on them, but higher in denomination and usually made of gold.
It is large, too-a little bigger than a quarter.
