The Draped Bust Half Cent was produced by the United States Mint from 1800 to 1808, characterized by its iconic design featuring a draped bust of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The 1805 issue is particularly notable among collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance, reflecting the early years of American coinage. As a collectible, its value is influenced by factors such as condition, rarity, and demand in the numismatic market.
