Draped Bust Cents

Draped Bust Cents debuted in the final months of 1796, one year after the United States Mint introduced the design on the silver dollar and the same year that the design appeared on the half dime, dime, quarter, and half dollar. The Draped Bust design is the fourth major type of cents, following the Chain, Wreath, and Liberty Cap designs.
