The Seated Liberty Half Dime, produced from 1837 to 1891, features a seated figure of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The 1853 issue, minted in New Orleans, is particularly notable due to the inclusion of the arrows at the date, signifying a change in coin weight. These half dimes are made of 90% silver, making them a valuable addition to any collection, especially in high grade. The New Orleans mint mark, "O," adds to the historical significance and rarity for collectors.
