Obverse Description: Lady liberty is seated on a rock bearing a shield with the word LIBERTY. 13 Stars frame the periphery with the date at the bottom middle under the rock.
Reverse Description: The heraldic eagle is centered in the design with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOL. around the periphery.
General Notes: This is the specific die variety sought by collectors of CSA obverse Seated half dollar. The high valuations are reserved for the coins with a visible die crack from the bridge of Liberty's nose up to the rim to the denticle right of star 7. Other so-called CSA obverse half dollars without this die crack trade much closer in value to the regular 1861-O half dollar.
