The Liberty Seated Half Dollar was one of the longest-running silver coin designs in U.S. history, first introduced in the 1830s and continuing through the late 19th century. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the design reflects the classical style of early American coinage, featuring Liberty seated while holding a shield and a liberty pole topped with a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom and independence.

Issued during America’s 100th anniversary year, the 1876-CC Half Dollar represents a fascinating period when the nation was celebrating its centennial while continuing to expand westward. The Carson City Mint was actively producing silver coinage during this time, and the 1876 half dollar reflects the importance of Nevada’s silver industry and the role of Western mints in the U.S. economy.
