Coin History
1831 CLASSIC HEAD 1/2C
The coming of new technology to the United States Mint in the late 1820s/early 1830s enabled the striking of higher-quality Half Cents.  William Kneass prepared modified dies using John Reich's old Classic design, the new pieces displaying overall sharper definition and a raised rim around both sides.  The modifed Classic design was first used in coinage during 1831, the Mint also striking its first proof coins of this denimonation in that year.
Proof Classic Half Cents were struck through 1836.  Survivors of all issues are exceedingly rare, their original mintages being extremely limited in light of the paltry number of collectors active in the United States during the 1830s.  The 1831 is known in both original and restrike formats, as is the proof-only 1836.
