Description

Offered here is an 1809/6 Classic Head Half Cent, certified by PCGS as AU53BN. This example features the popular 9 over inverted 9 overdate variety (Cohen-5), a recognized and collectible die variety within the early U.S. copper series.

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin represents the first year of the Classic Head design, making it an important issue for collectors of early American coinage. The overdate variety adds additional collector interest and historical appeal.

Graded AU53BN by PCGS, this coin retains strong detail in Liberty’s portrait and the reverse wreath, with even brown coloration typical of the BN designation. The surfaces show honest wear consistent with the grade and present well overall for an early copper issue.

A certified, problem-free example of this early overdate variety, well-suited for collectors of Classic Head half cents, early copper, or U.S. type coins.
