Classic Head Half Cents were produced in the United States from 1809 to 1836, with the 1834 issue minted in Philadelphia. These coins feature a distinctive design with a classic bust of Liberty facing left on the obverse. The reverse depicts a wreath encircling the denomination. The 2-cent piece, also part of the broader collectible coin panorama, was introduced later, reflecting different design trends and historical contexts in American numismatics. Collectors highly value these coins for their historical significance and unique designs.
