Seated Liberty Half Dollars were minted in the United States from 1839 to 1891. The design features an allegorical representation of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a liberty cap. The 1845 Seated Liberty Half Dollar is notable for its relatively low mintage and has become a sought-after collectible among numismatists, especially in higher grades. The coin's obverse features the date and the inscription "LIBERTY," while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield, surrounded by the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR."
