1847 Liberty Seated Half Dime - G Details (Bent)
Add an affordable piece of early American silver coinage to your collection with this 1847 Liberty Seated Half Dime in Good (G) Details condition. Struck from 90% silver and 10% copper, the Half Dime carried a face value of five cents and was one of the smallest silver denominations issued by the United States Mint.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features Liberty seated on a rock beside a Union shield while holding a liberty pole topped with a cap. The reverse displays the denomination HALF DIME surrounded by a wreath, creating the timeless appearance of the Liberty Seated series.
In Good (G) Details condition, this coin exhibits heavy circulation wear while retaining an identifiable date and major design elements. Liberty's figure, the reverse wreath, denomination, and portions of the surrounding lettering remain visible despite its well-circulated condition.
This example is designated Bent, meaning the coin has a noticeable bend or curvature that prevents it from receiving a straight numerical grade. Despite this impairment, it remains a genuine pre-Civil War U.S. silver coin and provides collectors with an affordable opportunity to own an example of this historic, obsolete denomination.
