The Coronet Half Cent of 1840-57 was the last of the US half cents. This series is also called the Braided Hair Half Cent.

This page lists estimated numismatic coin values for every date of the Coronet Half Cent, across an array of grades. This information is useful to collectors wanting to know about how much they’ll have to pay at retail to acquire Coronet Half Cents.

Go to the bottom of the page to find the table listing the half cent coin values. You’ll notice that each entry is actually a range, rather than a specific dollar amount. That’s because the price of the same coin can fluctuate from one seller to the next.

The Coronet Half Cent price guide was loaned to us by the NumisMaster Coin Values website, where you can find the value of just about any coin or currency from anywhere around the globe, through the NumisMaster Coin Price Guide.
