Olevian Numismatic Rarities
1797 Liberty Cap Half Cent // 1 Above 1 Variety // PCGS Certified VG10 // Deluxe Collector's Pouch
Product Description
The half cent was the smallest denomination coin ever minted by the United States. An astonishingly low value by today’s standards, this denomination was introduced in 1793 and had more purchasing power than a quarter does in 2020. Half cents eventually fell out of favor due to inflation and the rising price of copper, however, and were later discontinued in 1857. You will receive the unique coin shown in the photos housed in a plush-lined box with a certificate of authenticity.
