The 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar was struck during a pivotal year that saw the passage of the Coinage Act of 1873, legislation that demonetized silver and effectively placed America on the gold standard—a move later condemned by silver advocates as the “Crime of ’73.” This 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Dollar had a limited mintage of only 500 pieces and, more importantly, is one of just 40 examples of a certified 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Coin. Today, the 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The economy in 1873 was on the precipice of disaster, with the Panic of 1873 erupting in September when Jay Cooke & Company collapsed, triggering a severe depression that would last six years. This financial crisis was exacerbated by over-speculation in railroads, tight credit conditions, and the withdrawal of silver as a monetary metal, creating deflation that benefited creditors while crushing debtors, particularly farmers in the West and South.
This 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar is in PR64 condition with the notable arrows designation, featured on the obverse on either side of the date mark. This coin is a beautiful piece of American history. Issued in the final year of the Seated Liberty Series, this half dollar was released at a time of evolving minting practices in the United States after the end of the Civil War.
On the obverse of the 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar, you will find a depiction of Liberty. In this design, Liberty is shown seated on a rock with a Phrygian cap on a staff in her left hand as she looks to her right. Her right hand is at her side, resting on the United States shield.
The reverse of the 1873 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar Coin comes with a depiction of the heraldic eagle. The design shows an American bald eagle in front-facing relief as it looks to its right. The eagle supports the US national shield while clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
