1841 Liberty Seated Half Dime XF
In 1841, the Philadelphia Mint produced a tiny silver treasure: a five-cent piece featuring the classic Liberty Seated motif. This delicate coin, struck in 90 percent silver with a weight of approximately 0.0387 troy ounces, showcases the intricate artistry of Christian Gobrecht. Despite its small size, the coin carries a wealth of detail that has survived in Extra Fine condition. The obverse of the coin displays Lady Liberty resting on a rock, holding a staff topped with a liberty cap in one hand, while her other hand supports a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Below her feet is the year 1841. On the reverse, a simple yet elegant wreath wraps around the central denomination, which is written as HALF DIME. Surrounding this central design is the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, framing a classic piece of early American coinage.
