Designed by Christian Gobrecht, this historic 19th-century U.S. silver half dollar features the classic Seated Liberty design on the obverse, with Liberty holding a liberty pole and cap and surrounded by thirteen stars. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle with shield, IN GOD WE TRUST on a ribbon above the eagle, and the HALF DOL. denomination.
The 1868 belongs to the With Motto Liberty Seated Half Dollar type, introduced in 1866 with the addition of the national motto above the eagle.
The coin is circulated and uncertified and comes in a holder with a handwritten F-12 notation. The F-12 notation represents assessment only and is not being represented as a professionally certified grade.
