The Seated Liberty Half Dollar, minted from 1839 to 1891, features a depiction of Lady Liberty seated on a rock, symbolizing freedom and strength. The 1847 issue, particularly from the New Orleans mint, is sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the lower mintage compared to other years. Collectors value the condition, strike quality, and rarity when assessing the worth of these coins. The use of the phrase "Fifty Cents" indicates the denomination, further solidifying its place in American numismatic history.
