Draped Bust Half Cents were produced by the United States Mint from 1800 to 1808. The 1808 issue is particularly significant due to its low mintage and is highly sought after by collectors. These coins feature a depiction of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, set against a backdrop that reflects the neoclassical design aesthetic of the time. The Philadelphia Mint was responsible for their production, and the 1808 Draped Bust Half Cent is notable for its rarity and historical importance within American numismatics.
