Description and History
The half dollar has been struck with few interruptions from the beginning of U.S. coinage to the present day. These were sanctioned originally in the Coinage Act of 1792, and the half dollar has been one of the foundational coins of the U.S. monetary system for most of the time until it fell out of favor in the 20th century. They were first minted in 1794. The Liberty Seated variety ran from 1839 to 1891, when it was replaced by the Barber.
