Product Details: This remarkably scarce 1828 Classic Head Half Cent, certified a premium AU55 by PCGS, represents the highly sought-after '12 Stars' variety and stands as a fascinating piece of early American numismatic history. The obverse showcases John Reich’s elegant profile of Lady Liberty facing left, her curled hair bound by a headband inscribed with 'LIBERTY,' famously surrounded by only twelve stars rather than the standard thirteen, all set against remarkably smooth, chocolate-brown copper fields that retain a beautiful, original appearance with hints of underlying luster. Transitioning to the reverse, the classic design features the 'HALF CENT' denomination centrally positioned within a sharply detailed, ribbon-tied laurel wreath, beautifully framed by the bold legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.' Boasting an incredibly crisp strike, an exceptionally even, natural patina, and the historical intrigue of a famous early U.S. Mint anomaly, this beautifully preserved fractional copper coin is a fantastic, high-grade prize for any dedicated early copper specialist or classic U.S. type set collector.
