Great detail. Nice Original Coin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypes of half cents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Liberty Cap - 1793\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Liberty Cap - 1794 to 1797\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Draped Bust - 1800 to 1808\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Classic Head - 1809 to 1836\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Braided Hair - 1840 to 1857\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks so much for stopping by!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53347332129065,"sku":"HC-1835-VF","price":103.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/files\/jason716f-2.png?v=1784661311","url":"https:\/\/treasurehunterco.com\/sv\/products\/1835-half-cent-vf-nice-original-coin-1835-half-penny-classic-head-half-cent","provider":"Treasure Hunter Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
