1855-O Seated Liberty Half Dime
This 1855-O Seated Liberty Half Dime is a significant and scarce coin from the New Orleans Mint. It features the iconic "arrows" design on either side of the date, indicating a continuation of the adjusted weight standards for U.S. silver coinage initiated in 1853. The obverse depicts Liberty seated with a shield and pole, encircled by 13 stars, while the reverse highlights a laurel wreath surrounding the denomination "HALF DIME" with the "O" mintmark proudly displayed below.
Condition:
Graded VG-F (Very Good to Fine), the coin exhibits even wear consistent with its age while retaining clear key details such as the arrows, stars, and the "O" mintmark. The surface has an attractive patina, adding to its historical charm.
Provenance/History:
Minted in 1855 during a transformative period in American coinage history, this coin stands out for its scarcity, particularly from the New Orleans Mint. It reflects the efforts to standardize silver coinage weights in mid-19th-century America.
Special Notes:
This 1855-O Seated Liberty Half Dime is a rare date-and-mintmark combination, making it a prized acquisition for serious collectors of U.S. numismatics or those focusing on Southern Mint coinage.
