The Classic Head Half Cent is a type of United States coin that was minted from 1809 to 1836. It features a profile of Liberty wearing a classic-style cap on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The 1809 issue is particularly notable among collectors due to its historical significance and relatively limited mintage compared to other years. The Classic Head design represents an important transitional style in early American coinage, reflecting the artistry and production techniques of the time.
