Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and

their

number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the

early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.

Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by

that time Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the

intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of

Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were

produced with sixteen stars.

As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this

scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars

- one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-

cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12

stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.
