Classic Head Cents are a type of one cent coin produced by the United States Mint, specifically from 1808 to 1814. The design features a bust of Liberty, known as the Classic Head, with a distinctive hairstyle, and is surrounded by the inscription “Liberty.” These coins are notable for their historical significance and are sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and relatively low survival rates. The 1808 Classic Head Cent, in particular, is of interest due to its status as a transitional year in U.S. coinage design.
