Liberty Seated Half Dollars were issued by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1891, characterized by a design featuring Lady Liberty seated. The 1859 San Francisco minting of the 50-cent denomination is particularly notable due to its lower mintage and is sought after by collectors. Coins from this era often exhibit varied conditions and levels of preservation, impacting their market value significantly. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and artistic design.
