Draped Bust Half Cents are collectible coins minted in the United States from 1800 to 1808, with the 1803 issue being particularly notable. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins feature a depiction of Liberty in a draped bust on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. The Half Cent denomination, valued at 1/200th of a dollar, reflects early American currency practices and is sought after by collectors for its historical significance and rarity. The 1803 Draped Bust Half Cent is especially prized among numismatists due to its limited mintage and condition variance.
