In 1851, one cent could buy a variety of items, including a loaf of bread, a small piece of candy, or other basic goods and services. The value of a cent was significantly higher due to lower overall prices and wages at the time. For example, a common meal could cost around 10 to 20 cents, making a single cent a meaningful amount for everyday purchases.
