In 1857 the coin would see it's last issue, and has been gone from circulation ever since. We take a look at how the coin has changed ober the years and how much these half cent coins are worth today.

    i have a 1805 that i would amateurly grade at about VG-8 and would be worth about $90 according to my 2016 red book, it's insane that less than 40,000 of that entire type let alone that exact year still exist! were a lot of them melted at some point?

    It looks like the Liberty Cap design was created using the Flowing Hair design with the added cap on a pole behind her.

    I had a 17-9-4 half-cent in 1975 and sold it in 1979 for $10.oo. it would have been on the lowest of low grade levels. Looking at what they're going for in this video, mine would have been worth maybe $350.oo today. I wish I had held onto it just for the sake of having one of these very rare and first coins ever minted by the United States Treasury. I remember seeing a few large one cent pieces as a child but never a half cent piece. I should have held on to it. I just looked up the price of what that $10.oo would be worth today and it stands about $41.oo. So by that I lost a lot, about $309.oo.

    DEAR Numiststic. I am a bit confused with the half cent. I certainly do not want to take away the KNOWLEDGE you are teaching us on this video...howeber..i am looking at this SUNGAREI 1 TEAL DRAGON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TWO TAILS MEAN? LET ME BE REALISTIC! ARE THESE PLAY OR REAL COINS? IF IT IS PLAY I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY KID.. ( MY SON) AND MESS WITH HIM
    I JUST NEVER KNOW . YOU ARE BRILLIANT. I....NOT SO MUCH. WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ THEIR LANGUAGE. THANK YOU DEAR NUMISTSTIC FOR SHARING THIS KNOWLEDGE WITH US ENTHUSIASTS. MUCH APPRECIATED MY FRIEND. LOVING THAT ACCENT.! SMILE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING.

    I have one in the uk. 1885 its different than all these. On one side it has the fraction 1/2 cent amd the other side a lion with a crown i think holding a sword.. Its in crazy good condition. Better tham somr modern coins to be honest. It feels like im holding somtjing really rare. Does anyone know anything?

    • @worldnumismaticnews
      @worldnumismaticnews  2 роки тому

      Sounds like it might be a half cent from the Netherlands. KM109. 1/2 CENT inside a wreath on the reverse and a rampant Lion, crowned clutching a sword and a bundle of arrows on the reverse. Date in exergue, flanked by privy mark. Surrounded by the legend that reads : "KONINGRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN". Does that sound right? Hope this helps.
