1858-O Seated Liberty Half Dime VG Very Good New Orleans 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. The 1858-O was struck at the New Orleans Mint, with a mintage of only 1,660,000, and the O mintmark sits just below the wreath bow.

This exact coin is honestly worn in the Good to Very Good range: the seated figure, stars and date are clear, and LIBERTY on the shield is worn. In fairness to the buyer, there are heavy hairline scratches on both sides, which look like an old cleaning. The O mintmark is clear on the reverse.

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.
