Seated Half Coins

There is a common misconception that the mid-19th century was a time of great modesty and
victorian sensibilities. This preception is probably not correct as can be seen by many of
the coins and other arts of the period. Stangely enough human sexuality was not discovered
in the 1920's or the 1960's.
This 1847 silver half with a near naked "liberty" with a flag in hand, sitting in a relaxed pose was
minted in New Orleans, as indicated by the 'O' mint mark on the reverse under the eagle.
By the way see the discussion on these coins.
