The Liberty Seated Half Dime, also known as the H10c, was a coin issued by the United States Mint between 1837 and 1873. The 1839 edition minted in New Orleans is particularly notable among collectors due to its historical significance and lower mintage compared to other years. This coin features a depiction of Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a liberty pole, and is valued for its craftsmanship and rarity within the Liberty Seated series. Collectors seek these coins for their numismatic value and their representation of early American minting practices.
