u. S. Half DoIIors: II
IN 1873 The desicn Of Il

In 1899 the design OF the
half dollar was changed to
the Liberty seated type. This
design continued in use with
; minor changes through 1891.
One very interesting date
is the 1860. The United
States mint at New Orleans
had already struck $4,000 of
these coins when 1t was taken
over by the Confederacy. On
orders of Confederate officials
about 100000 more coins
were made from the same
dieA
It is impossible to tell
whether q particular 1860
half dollar was struck by the
United States or the Con-
federacy. but the coin makes
a wonderful conversation
piece.
