The Liberty Seated Half Dime (H10c) was a denomination minted by the United States from 1837 to 1873. The 1859 issue, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is notable within this series for its design featuring Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a cap and a shield. This coin is sought after by collectors for its historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other years, making it a popular choice among numismatists interested in 19th-century American coinage.
