This 1807 Draped Bust Half Cent is a rare survivor from the dawn of the 19th century. Struck during the second term of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency, 1807 marked the final year for this iconic Robert Scot design before it was replaced by the Classic Head. As the smallest denomination produced by the early U.S. Mint, this half cent circulated during the foundational years of the American Republic, serving a young nation in its daily commerce.
