This is an 1845 Seated Liberty Half Dime, designed by Christian Gobrecht and minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark). The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The obverse features the figure of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a pole with a Phrygian cap, with thirteen stars surrounding her and the date '1845' below. The reverse depicts a wreath enclosing the denomination 'HALF DIME', surrounded by 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. This coin has been professionally graded as Very Good (V.G.). It exhibits significant, even wear from circulation, consistent with its grade. Key details on Liberty's figure and the shield are worn smooth, yet the lettering and date remain fully readable. The coin has a natural, gray toning. Inventory #73.
