1858 Liberty Seated Half Dollar XF-45 PCGS
In 1858, the Philadelphia Mint produced over four million silver half dollars. This particular coin, graded Extra Fine 45, showcases the classic Liberty Seated design that defined mid-nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver, it contains approximately 0.3599 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the figure of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a staff topped with a liberty cap, with a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Below her sits the date 1858. On the reverse, the eagle holds an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by the legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination HALF DOL. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, this coin bears no mint mark, representing a classic era of United States silver coinage.
