Liberty Seated Half Dollars were minted in the United States from 1839 to 1891, featuring a design by Christian Gobrecht. The 1849 issue minted in New Orleans is notable for its relatively low mintage, making it a key date among collectors. The coin showcases Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a pole with a liberty cap, symbolizing freedom and independence. Its value can be influenced by factors such as condition, rarity, and market demand within the numismatic community.
