1863-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar Civil War Date Silver Coin

Here’s a solid example of the 1863-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint during the height of the Civil War. Only about one-third as many S-mint halves were made compared to the Philadelphia issue, and far fewer survive today in decent, problem-free circulated condition.This one shows:Clear 1863 dateVisible S-mintmark on reverseOriginal 19th-century circulation wearNo heavy scratches, no rim bumps, no harsh cleaningBecause California still used hard money during the war, San Francisco continues striking silver while the rest of the country hoarded coins. This piece is a genuine survivor of that period and carries all the history with it.A great addition for any Civil War collector or Seated Liberty set.
