Collectible coins include a variety of types, among which the Seated Liberty Half Dimes are notable. Issued by the United States from 1837 to 1891, these coins feature an image of Liberty seated on a rock. The 1861 Seated Liberty Half Dime, in particular, is significant due to its historical context during the Civil War era. This denomination, often found in higher grades due to its limited mintage and appeal to numismatists, is part of the larger family of five-cent coins, including the Nickel and the Half Dime.
