1811 Classic Head Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-3-. Close Date. VG-10 (PCGS).;Pleasing reddish-copper surfaces with blended gray-brown highlights. The left peripheries are a bit softly defined, but the balance of the features are suitably bold for the assigned grade. A few minor marks are noted, none of which demand individual attention. Although Mint records provide a mintage of 63,140 half cents in 1811, most of those coins were likely delivered from the 1810-dated obverse. Actual production of 1811-dated half cents probably amounted to no more than 30,000 pieces, the issue widely regarded for its scarcity among todays numismatists.;
