Seated Liberty Half Dollars were minted in the United States from 1839 to 1891, featuring a design that includes a seated figure of Liberty. The 1861 issue is particularly notable as it was produced during a time of significant national turmoil, coinciding with the beginning of the Civil War. The obverse displays Liberty holding a cap and a shield, while the reverse showcases an eagle. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance, artistic design, and varying mint marks, which can affect their rarity and value.
