Half Cents skipped several years. For the longest period, I'll guess Half
Dimes. None made after 1805 until the next series of them began in 1829.

But there was a change in type from a draped bust to a capped bust.

Yikes! Some numismatist I am! I don't recall ever having heard that before.
Thanks for adding to my knowledge of coins, John.

I would guess the SBA dollar may hold the record......18 years. One year
longer than the Morgan.
