Even common date Half Cents can be valuable in higher grades. It is important to gain a basic understanding of grading and determining if a coin has been cleaned or recolored.

Any Half Cent before 1800 will normally have a low mintage and nice value in most grades. Some dates are very rare and command much more. Some variations also command a much higher premium.
