Classic Head Half Cents were minted in the United States from 1809 to 1836, with the 1831 issue being struck at the Philadelphia Mint. These coins feature a distinctive design with a classic portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. As collectible items, they are valued for their historical significance and the artistry of their design, with mint condition examples attracting higher demand among numismatists. The 1831 Classic Head Half Cent is particularly sought after due to its limited mintage and the overall popularity of early American coinage.
