ANA eLearning Academy - U.S. Half Cents; Designs, Dates, and Die Varieties

Показать описание
Half cents have long inspired numismatic writers. One quaintly called them, the “Little Half Sisters.” Why were half cents struck for circulation only intermittently between 1793 and 1857? In which years were they struck? How many different design types were there? Who designed them? Are there multiple die varieties for each year?

My only quibble with the speaker, purchasing a presentable "common" 1794 half cent is not affordable for a significant swath of the collectors watching this. According to Greysheet's online retail, one in Good costs close to $900. One can get a Gold dollar Type 1 or 3 from the Philly mint for quite a few years in nice Mint State.

I would clarify for viewers what is considered affordable for certain half cent years.
