The Classic Head Half Cent is a type of collectible coin minted in the United States from 1809 to 1836. The particular year 1826 is significant within this series, as it features the Classic Head design by engraver John Reich. These coins were produced at the Philadelphia Mint and are sought after by collectors for their historical value, design, and variations in minting such as different die states and marks. The half cent denomination was used as part of the U.S. currency system during a time when smaller denominations were increasingly in demand.
