This listing is for the photographed 1826 Half Cent. Great detail on this affordable coin. Only 234,000 made!

US Half Cents (or Half Pennies) were the smallest denomination of US coins. Due to the short period of time that they were minted, and a smaller size population in need of coinage, all Half Cents are scarce today. With variations in production, design type, and mintage numbers, Half Cents are a coin type in which there is much to explore and learn. For a collector, high grades can fetch very high prices and having a quality coin of any half cent year is a great goal.

First authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792 on April 2, 1792, Half Cents were produced in the United States from 1793 to 1857. The half-cent piece was made of 100% copper and was valued at five milles, or one two-hundredth of a dollar. It was slightly smaller than a modern U.S. quarter with diameters 22 mm (1793), 23.5 mm (1794–1836) and 23 mm (1840–1857). All Half Cents were all produced at the Philadelphia Mint.

Types of half cents:

- Liberty Cap - 1793

- Liberty Cap - 1794 to 1797

- Draped Bust - 1800 to 1808

- Classic Head - 1809 to 1836<
