Classic Head Cents were produced in the United States from 1808 to 1814, featuring a design by engraver Robert Scott. The coins are characterized by their classic head motif, showcasing a young woman with flowing hair, symbolizing liberty. The 1808 Philadelphia minted version is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance, marking a transitional design in early American coinage. As a one-cent denomination, it reflects the economic landscape of early 19th century America and is a notable addition to any numismatic collection focused on early U.S. coins.
