Liberty Cap Half-Cents

(1793 - 1797)

The Liberty Cap Half Cent was produced in two distinct designs — the 1793 issue features Liberty facing left, while pieces dated 1794 through 1797 show her facing right. The 1793 release is especially desirable, as it represents one of the earliest coinages struck by the United States Mint and is considered a scarce date today. Within the entire Liberty Cap series, the 1796 issue stands out as the most difficult to obtain.
