The Seated Liberty Half Dollar, a notable type of coin in American numismatics, was produced from 1839 to 1891, exemplifying liberty seated on a rock, holding a liberty cap and a shield. The 1869 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, particularly from the San Francisco Mint, is of interest to collectors due to its lower mintage and geographic significance, enhancing its value among 50-cent coin series. Collectors often seek coins in high grades from this period for their historical and aesthetic appeal.
