This is an 1844 Seated Liberty Half Dime, designed by Christian Gobrecht and struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The obverse features the figure of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a pole with a Phrygian cap, and surrounded by thirteen stars. The reverse depicts the denomination 'HALF DIME' within a wreath, encircled by 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. This coin is graded A.G. (About Good). The coin exhibits heavy, even wear consistent with its grade. The date '1844' is legible but weak, and while the lettering on the reverse is visible, it is worn with significantly flattened wreath details. Circulated patina and surface marks typical for its age can be observed. Inventory #72.
