This listing is for one 1826 Half Cent, as pictured. In F (Fine) condition.
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
- Braided Hair - 1840 to 1857
