This 1808 Classic Head Half Cent, graded AU55 by PCGS and housed in a Old Green Holder, offers an exceptional blend of originality, technical quality, and historical intrigue. As the only regular-issue year of the Classic Head design for the denomination, the 1808 half cent holds a unique place in U.S. numismatics. This example represents the so-called “normal” date—though anything but ordinary—featuring a final digit 8 that was created by repunching the 0 from the denomination twice, giving it a mismatched, visually distinct character from the first 8. The coin's texture is smooth, hard, and satiny throughout—completely free from carbon flecks or surface distractions, with strong claims to an AU58, just look at the high points. According to PCGS Population data, only 19 coins have been graded AU55, with just 34 finer, making this a conditionally scarce offering in any holder, let alone in the earlier-generation OGH format.
