The 1/2 Penny coin, or Half Penny, was a proposed national issue in the United States in 1786, during the time of the Articles of Confederation. Although not officially minted, the concept represented early attempts to establish a uniform currency in the young nation. Collectors value such proposals as they reflect historical contexts and the evolution of American coinage. The rare instances where designs or patterns exist can be significant in numismatic circles, often sought after for their unique place in U.S. history.
