The Classic Head Half Cent was minted in the United States from 1809 to 1836. The 1829 issue represents a variety within this series, characterized by its distinctive design featuring a classic portrait of Liberty. Collectors value these half cents not only for their age but also for the historical context of the early 19th century in America. The Classic Head series is particularly significant for its role in the evolution of U.S. coinage, as it reflects changes in both design aesthetics and minting technologies of the time.
