1856 Seated Liberty Half Dime G-VG Good Philadelphia 90% Silver H10C Old US Coin

The Seated Liberty half dime was the smallest silver coin of its day, a tiny 90% silver piece that circulated through the pre–Civil War years. Christian Gobrecht’s design shows Liberty seated with shield and pole, with HALF DIME inside a wreath on the reverse.

This exact coin is in the Good to Very Good range: the seated figure, stars and date are clear, and LIBERTY on the shield is worn away. In fairness to the buyer, there are heavy scratches on both sides, including a long scratch across Liberty from the right field, and some rim bumps. No mintmark is visible (Philadelphia).

  • Year: 1856
  • Mint: Philadelphia (no mintmark)
  • Mintage: 4,880,000
  • Series: Seated Liberty Half Dime (1837–1873)
  • Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
  • Approximate grade: G–VG (Good to Very Good)

Ungraded and uncertified. The approximate grade is our opinion only. THE COIN SHOWN IS THE EXACT COIN YOU WILL RECEIVE.

WHO WE AREBourne2Treasure is a family-owned business based in Dayton, TN, proud to be celebrating our 25th year in operation. Along the way we’ve earned over 27,000 pieces of feedback as a seller.
SHIPPINGEvery coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEEWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT USContact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMERWe arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
