The Liberty Seated Half Dollar, minted from 1839 to 1891, features a design that showcases Liberty seated with a shield, representing freedom and strength. The 1872 Carson City Mint issue is particularly significant due to its limited mintage and the historical importance of the Carson City Mint, which produced coins during the western expansion of the United States. Collectors value these coins for their numismatic history, rarity, and distinctive Carson City mintmark, which denotes coins struck in Nevada. The Liberty Seated Half Dollar series is sought after by both novice and experienced collectors, making it a notable segment in U.S. coin collecting.
