1853 Seated Liberty Half Dime with Arrows - G (Good) - Christian Gobrecht Design

Product ID: 242050762

Description

This is an 1853 Seated Liberty Half Dime, featuring the 'Arrows at Date' design. This variety was struck to indicate a reduction in the coin's silver content. The obverse depicts a seated figure of Liberty surrounded by 13 stars, with the date 1853 and arrows below. The reverse features the denomination 'HALF DIME' within a wreath, encircled by 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. The coin exhibits heavy, even wear consistent with its 'Good' grade. On the obverse, Liberty's figure is well-worn with major details smoothed out, though the outline is complete. The date and stars are visible but faint. The reverse shows all lettering is readable, but the wreath details are weak. The coin has a dark, aged patina. Inventory #75.
