If you're buying coins like this, you might wish to pick up a Red Book.
From 1839 to 1857, the head is slightly different compared to those minted '35 - '39. In my mind, all large cents from 1816 - 1857 are Braided Hair, and within that there are sub-varieties. Other people break them out differently. I guess because I'm not a late date specialist at this point I don't worry about such things.
