The Seated Liberty Half Dollar was minted in the United States from 1839 to 1891, featuring a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1852 issue is particularly significant among collectors due to its limited mintage and historical context, reflecting the coinage standards of that era. These coins typically display a seated figure of Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The Seated Liberty series is renowned for its artistic design and is highly sought after by numismatists, with the 1852 date representing a critical year within the series.
