Hello all,,,
I was hoping someone could tell me what this coin should be labeled as?

If you look on this page from Coinfacts they list this coin as a "Braided Hair" large cent.
But, if you look at PCGS's Price Guide they label it as a "Coronet Head". Do they simply call it either of the two, or what?
Also, I noticed some of the "Braided Hair cents" they show have a different reverse than this one... I'm confused... ???

I have been re-constructing my website and I would hate to have it labeled wrong... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you...

It is a braided hair coronet cent. In 1816 a redesigned cent was introduced, this design is now known as the coronet cent. In the late 1830's it was changed slightly and is called the braided hair coronet cent by collectors today.
