Draped Bust Half Cents were produced in the United States from 1796 to 1807, with the final year of issue, 1808, marking the end of this series. The design, featuring a bust of Liberty draped in a flowing robe on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse, reflects neoclassical ideals. These coins are significant for their historical context and artistry, with the 1808 edition being particularly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and the limited number of pieces minted. As collectible coins, they are prized for their aesthetic appeal and connection to early American history.
