Obverse Description
Lady Liberty is seated on a rock, holding a staff, and bearing a shield with the word LIBERTY on a flowing ribbon. 13 stars have adorn the periphery and the date appears at the bottom center. There is a noted lack of drapery (or linen) from Liberty's elbow to her knee.
Reverse Description
The words HALF DIME are centered and surrounded by a wreath tied by ribbon and bow at the bottom with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears at bottom center under the bow.
