FACTS:
Few Americans living away from the Atlantic seaboard, however, actually handled many of these "Little Half Sisters," as copper coinage student Dr. Warren A. Lapp once nicknamed the denomination.

Although half cents were issued for more than 60 years, they remained America's unwanted coins. They proved to be of little use, circulated grudgingly if at all, and were often kept in dead storage at the Mint waiting for infrequent orders from the infant nation's banks. Production-sometimes for several years-was often interrupted by shortages of copper and lack of demand.
