1809 年經典頭像半美分：稀有且有價值的歷史硬幣

1809 年經典頭像半美分硬幣與先前的垂褶半身像硬幣相比引入了多項設計變化。約翰·賴克 (John Reich) 的經典頭像取代了前者的半身像，自由女神面朝左側，頭髮更加細緻，胸部柔和。背面的花環更飽滿，包裹著麵條，中間用一根細橫條隔開。經典頭像見證了六次婚姻，發行量為 1,154,572 半美分。這種類型的造幣廠國家硬幣已經沒有倖存下來，而紅棕色的硬幣也很少，已知的不到 20 枚。完好無損的棕色版本的州級樣品售價為 1,500 至 2,000 美元。 AU58 硬幣報價為 650 至 700 美元。

1809 Classic Head Half Cent

1809 年經典頭像半美分

In 1809, the United States Mint redesigned the half cent, replacing the Draped Bust design with engraver John Reich's Classic Head and changing the direction that Liberty faces from right to left. Her hair is more detailed on the 1809 Classic Head Half Cent, and her bosom is toned down to a curved base. On the reverse, the wreath is fuller and fully wraps around the denomination, which is underlined by a thin horizontal bar.

1809年，美國鑄幣廠重新設計了半美分硬幣，用雕刻師約翰·賴克的經典頭像取代了垂褶半身像設計，並將自由女神所面向的方向從右改為左。她的頭髮在 1809 年經典頭像半美分上更加細緻，她的胸部被柔和到彎曲的底部。反面，花環較飽滿，完全包覆面額，並用細水平條強調。

The Mint employed six die marriages to strike 1,154,572 half cents in the type's first year of issue.
