Classic Head, Early Copper Half Penny (1809-1836)
Coin number: MC104
Description: Early Copper Half Penny (1809-1836), Designer - Engraver: John Reich, Metal Composition: 100% Copper, Diameter: 23.5 mm, Mass: 5.44 grams
John Reich, who was an engraver at the Mint, designed this coin. The early coins (1809 to 1811) have some areas with light or incomplete striking, so caution is necessary in the grading. The later coins are well struck for the most part, which makes grading easier. This type of coin is generally available except for some of the issues (1811, 1831 and 1836) which are scarce or rare.
