Coronet Half Cents

Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the Coronet Head Half Cents were minted in Proof only from 1940 through 1849. Business strikes resumed in 1849 and continued through 1857, though they were far less used in commerce by that point than earlier in the century due to the effects of inflation.
  • 1852 Restrikes bear the marks of the broken die on the obverse.
