The Liberty Seated Half Dime, also known as the H10c, was issued by the United States Mint from 1837 to 1873. The 1845 Philadelphia issue is particularly notable among collectors, featuring a design by Thomas Sully that showcases Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a cap. These half dimes were made of 90% silver and were minted in relatively low quantities, making them sought after in numismatic circles. As a component of American coinage history, they reflect the era's artistry and economic conditions.
