1858 Liberty Seated Half Dollar 40Th Anniversary
About This Coin
Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Seated design defined silver coinage in the decades leading up to the Civil War. By 1858, the half dollar had settled back into its classic presentation after the brief "arrows at date" era, showcasing Gobrecht's elegant neoclassical figure of Liberty in its purest form.
This 1858 issue, graded AU58 by PCGS and verified by CAC, represents the collector's sweet spot for pre-war silver. An AU58 coin delivers the sharp details and visual presence of a mint-state piece, showing only the trace wear on the high points that defines the grade. It is a choice, wholesome survivor that escaped the heavy circulation of the Civil War era.
Housed in a PCGS 40th Anniversary holder, this piece is a quiet survivor of a turbulent decade in American history. It is a handsome representative of the series that will fit seamlessly into any cabinet focused on classic United States silver.
