The Classic Head Half Cents were minted in the United States from 1809 to 1836, with the 1810 issue produced in Philadelphia. These coins feature a design by engraver Robert Scot, showcasing a classic head profile on the obverse and a simple wreath on the reverse. The 2-cent denomination is distinct from this, as it was introduced later in 1864. Classic Head Half Cents are valued among collectors for their historical significance, variation in minting, and condition rarity.
