The 1828 5-cent coin from the United States, commonly referred to as the "half dime," is part of the series of silver coins minted during the early 19th century. While the term "French New World" may refer to areas colonized by France in North America, the half dime itself is strictly a product of U.S. minting practices. This coin features unique designs and historical significance, representing an era of expanding American commerce and the evolution of currency in the young nation. Collectors value the 1828 half dime for its rarity and the context of its production amidst shifting economic conditions and growing national identity.
