1868-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar XF
Struck in 90% silver at the San Francisco Mint, this 1868 Liberty Seated half dollar represents a fascinating era of American coinage. Containing 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin showcases the artistry of Christian Gobrecht. The design captures the spirit of a growing nation through detailed symbolic imagery that remains remarkably clear in this Extra Fine state of preservation. The front of the coin features Liberty seated upon a rock. In one hand, she supports a staff topped with a liberty cap, while her other hand rests upon a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. The year 1868 is clearly visible beneath her feet. On the reverse, a powerful eagle is depicted with a shield across its chest, gripping three arrows and an olive branch in its talons. The inscriptions surrounding the eagle read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination HALF DOL., with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST positioned above.
