1856 Seated Liberty Half Dime VG-F Very Good Philadelphia 90% Silver H10C 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 Very Good to Fine range with nice detail in the seated figure; LIBERTY on the shield is worn. In fairness to the buyer, there are heavy hairlines and there is rim damage: the rim is flattened at about 1 o’clock on the obverse, with a small dark spot there, plus small rim bumps around the edge. 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: VG–F (Very Good to Fine) — rim damage

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.
