coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 1/2c \ Massachusetts Copper
The Massachusetts Copper coins were among the first coins minted in the United States, specifically during the late 18th century. They were produced between 1787 and 1788 and feature a distinctive design, often with a profile of a woman on one side and the denomination on the reverse. The "2c" (2 cents) designation refers to the denomination of certain varieties, while "1c" (1 cent) may refer to other types of early American coins. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage. Their condition and rarity significantly impact their value in the numismatic market.
