Half Cents

The Half Cent is the smallest denomination ever struck by the United States Mint — and one of the most fascinating series in all of American numismatics. Produced from 1793 to 1857, these tiny copper coins carry enormous historical weight, representing the earliest years of a new nation learning to mint its own money.

At Bourbon Bullion & Coins, our Half Cent inventory is individually photographed and honestly described. We love early American copper, and it shows in how we select and present these coins.

• Liberty Cap (1793–1797) — the rarest and most historically significant Half Cent designs, highly sought by advanced collectors
• Draped Bust (1800–1808) — elegant early designs with strong collector appeal
• Classic Head (1809–1836) — a bold, accessible design with a wide range of dates
• Coronet Head (1840–1857) — the final Half Cent design, including the scarce proof-only issues of the 1840s–1849

From entry-level circulated examples to better date pieces, there's something here for every early copper collector.
