The Classic Head Half Cents were minted in the United States from 1809 to 1836, with the 1825 issue being produced at the Philadelphia Mint. This type features a classic design with Lady Liberty wearing a headband inscribed with the word "Liberty," surrounded by stars. The coin's composition is primarily copper, contributing to its rich reddish-brown color, and its denomination of 1/200 of a dollar makes it a popular collectible among numismatists. The 1825 Classic Head Half Cent in particular is notable for its relatively lower mintage, enhancing its appeal to collectors.
