Description
The Seated Liberty Half Dollar was introduced in 1839 and would be minted until 1891. The same basic design had previously been adopted on the half dime in 1837 and the quarter in 1838. The design would also be used for the silver dollar starting in 1840. Similar to the other denominations, the half dollar would undergo a series of minor design and specification changes, resulting in the creation of different subtypes within the broader series.
