The Seated Liberty half dollar denomination was a silver half dollar minted from 1839-1891. Designed by Christian Gobrecht based off of the sketch works of Thomas Sully and Titan Peale, the half dollar consisted of a depiction of the Goddess of Liberty in the seated position holding a shield marked ‘LIBERTY’ with the date below, and a pre-flight eagle (wings outstretched) grasping an olive branch. A shield also appears on the breast of the eagle. Mintmarks, if visible, are below the eagle and above ‘50 CENTS’ marked on the bottom field of the coin. Throughout the years of it’s production, the seated liberty half dollar underwent several design changes and mint marks, resulting in numerous varieties on this denomination.

In 1853, the total weight was reduced to 12.44 grams and in 1873 the weight was increased to a total of 12.50 grams. This would remain the same until the end of this patterns mintage in 1891.
