1876 Seated Liberty Half Dollar

[gklug]

This is my first Seated Half and I found it along the river. I was shocked that it was even a coin let alone this one. I am still hyperventilating.


Unfortunately, no mint mark on the back...but whatever....I love her

Now that's an awesome find!! Congrats, you must be stoked! 50 cents was a lot of money back in 1876, check out this link: JF Ptak Science Books: How Much Was 50 Cents Worth in 1876?

Nice link. My 1876 half dollar is my best coin find to date as well. It was close to a half a days pay for many at the time. Finding one of these is tough to beat. Congrats

So I'm guessing the CC is damn near impossible as well.

Great Link Diggin Dude. My friend was saying the same thing after I dug it. He said this would have been a big deal to someone back then. Can you imagine losing a half days pay today?
