The 1853 Liberty Seated Half Dime, denoted as H10C, represents a pivotal moment in U.S. numismatics. Minted in Philadelphia, this coin was produced amid a silver shortage that prompted the Mint Act of 1853. To reflect the reduced weight from 1.76 grams to 1.24 grams, arrows were added beside the date—a feature distinguishing it from earlier issues. With an immense mintage exceeding 13 million, it circulated widely, symbolizing everyday commerce in antebellum America.Featuring Christian Gobrecht's iconic design, the obverse depicts Liberty seated on a rock, draped in classical robes, with her right hand extended and a liberty cap on a pole in her left. NGC has graded 14 as MS67 with 9 finer (all of which are MS67+ or ?.) Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this issue at $10,500 in MS67. Therefore, you will save $3,950 off the CU price when you buy this coin!Graded MS-67 by NGC, this exemplar achieves near-perfection, boasting full luster, minimal marks, and attractive toning that enhances its eye appeal. As one of the finest known survivors, it commands premium value among collectors, underscoring the enduring allure of Seated Liberty artistry.
