Hey Folks,
New to this forum :)and a I know very little about coins. This is a coin my mom gave me. 1827 One Cent but it looks like Lady Liberty has a beard. I was going to try and clean it but I was told not to.I wanted to put it on ebay but I think I need to have some knowledge bout it first. If anyone has a few minutes I would appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum!

That is an 1827 Coronet head large cent, the "beard" you are referring to looks like corrosion.
It is probably a dug coin, you wouldn't get much more than $10 on ebay in that condition, better to hold onto it for its sentimental value. IMHO

to the forum. As already stated, it appears to have been in the ground and the coin has some corrosion, which gives the appearance of the beard.

I agree with those above. It's a special coin.

Welcome to CCF! As the others have said, your coin has some environmental damage (corrosion).
