1828 Half Cent Very Good to Fine Condition

The 1828 Half Cent features a portrait of Liberty on the obverse, facing left. She is adorned with a headband inscribed with the word "LIBERTY," and her hair is styled in classical curls. The date "1828" is situated below the portrait. Surrounding Liberty are thirteen stars, representing the original thirteen colonies. The reverse of the coin displays the denomination "HALF CENT" within a wreath, which is tied with a bow at the bottom. The inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircles the wreath. This design is characteristic of the early U.S. copper coinage, emphasizing simplicity and clarity.
