This 1843 Liberty Seated Half Dime is a strong About Uncirculated Fifty example certified and encapsulated by CAC Grading. This is a fully graded CACG holder coin and not a stickered piece giving collectors added confidence in both authenticity and grade accuracy.
Struck during the early years of the Seated Liberty series this coin represents classic mid nineteenth century United States silver coinage. Half dimes circulated heavily in everyday commerce making higher grade survivors increasingly difficult to locate today.
This example retains sharp design detail across Liberty the shield and the reverse wreath with only light wear on the high points. Much of the original detail remains bold and the surfaces show attractive natural color with pleasing eye appeal for the grade.
