Add a well-detailed example of early American copper coinage to your collection with this 1835 Classic Head Half Cent in Extremely Fine (XF) Details condition. Struck from copper, the Half Cent represents the smallest denomination ever issued for circulation by the United States Mint and remains a fascinating piece of early U.S. monetary history.
The obverse features Liberty facing left with flowing hair secured by a headband inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars with the 1835 date below. The reverse displays the denomination HALF CENT within a wreath, encircled by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
In Extremely Fine (XF) Details condition, this coin retains strong overall design definition with only light to moderate wear on the highest points. Liberty's hair, facial features, wreath, lettering, and other design elements remain well defined, giving the coin excellent visual detail for an early copper issue.
The Details designation indicates that the coin has an impairment such as cleaning, scratches, environmental damage, corrosion, rim damage, or another surface issue that prevents it from receiving a straight numerical grade. Despite this, the coin remains an appealing and more affordable way to own a higher-detail example of an early U.S. Half Cent.
