1857 Seated Liberty Half Dime H10C AU About Unc 90% Silver Pre Civil War Coin

The Seated Liberty half dime, designed by Christian Gobrecht, was America's tiny silver 5-cent piece before the nickel existed. This 1857 Philadelphia issue was struck four years before the Civil War — a genuine piece of antebellum America that fits on a fingertip.

This exact coin is a premium example: only the lightest friction over the high points, strong luster in the fields, full bold LIBERTY on the shield, and crisp drapery and wreath detail, consistent with the About Uncirculated letter grade. High-grade raw Seated material like this is getting hard to find.

  • Year: 1857

  • Mintage: 7,280,000
  • Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper (1.24 g, 15.5 mm)

BOURNE2TREASURE
WHO WE ARE Bourne2Treasure 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.
SHIPPING Every 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 / GUARANTEE We 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 US Contact 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 DISCLAIMER We 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.
