The Certified Half Cent 1810 C-1 XF Details NGC is a remarkable piece of American numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the early days of the United States Mint. Minted in 1810, this coin belongs to the Half Cent series, which was introduced in 1793 as one of the first denominations of U.S. coinage.
The design of the Half Cent 1810 C-1 features Liberty facing left on the obverse, with the inscription "LIBERTY" above and the date below. The reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination "1/200," representing one-half of a cent. The design was executed by renowned engraver Robert Scot, the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint at the time.
Certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as XF Details, this Half Cent exhibits signs of wear consistent with its age and circulation. The XF Details designation indicates that the coin is in Extremely Fine condition but has some surface imperfections or signs of cleaning that prevent it from receiving a numerical grade.
The 1810 C-1 Half Cent was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the first mint facility established by the United States government. The Philadelphia Mint played a crucial role in the early coinage of the United States, producing a wide range of denominations to meet the growing needs of commerce.
Exact mintage figures for the 1810 C-1 Half Cent are not precisely known, as records from the early years of the U.S. Mint are incomplete. However, it is believed that a relatively small number of half cents were struck in 1810 compared to larger denominations such as the cent or the dollar.
Despite its age and circulation, the 1810 C-1 Half Cent remains a collectible and historically significant coin. Its design and scarcity make it a sought-after piece among numismatists and collectors of early American coinage.
The packaging of the Certified Half Cent 1810 C-1 XF Details NGC may vary depending on its previous owners and the method of acquisition. Some collectors prefer to store certified coins in protective holders or display cases to preserve their condition and enhance their presentation.
