The Draped Bust Half Cent, first minted in 1796, gained recognition for its artistic design by Robert Scott, with the 1803 issue being particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and the aesthetic qualities of its design. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical context and potential investment value.
