Collectible coins often include specific types that are sought after by numismatists. The Seated Liberty Half Dime, minted between 1837 and 1891, features a design by Thomas Sully and is known for its distinct seated figure of Liberty. The 1872 Half Dime, particularly those minted in San Francisco, is of interest due to its limited mintage and historical significance. As part of the five-cent denomination, these coins are also representative of the broader category of nickels in American numismatics.
