Braided Hair Half Cent

The Braided Hair Half Cent was the last half cent produced. It was minted in 1840-1857. This coin was made from copper and weighs 5.44 grams. It has a diameter of 23 millimeters. The edge of this coin is plain.

There were not as many variations of this coin, as there were with the other half cent coins. These variations can be difficult to identify.

In 1840-1849 there were originals and coins that were restrikes. These can be the hardest to determine. Either one is very valuable.

In 1849-1857 there were not any variations other than in 1852 when again there were originals and restrikes. The value of the Braided Hair Half Cent changes greatly depending on the condition of the coin.
