The primary 1796 variety bears fifteen stars representing the then number of states in the union. In 1797, fifteen and sixteen star varieties were produced – the sixteenth star representing newly admitted <a href="/wiki/Tennessee" title="Tennessee">Tennessee</a> – as well as a thirteen star variety after the mint realized that it could not continue to add more stars as additional states joined the union. The reverse bears an open wreath surrounding a small eagle perched on a cloud. 54,757 half dimes of this design were minted.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Heraldic_eagle_reverse_(1800–1805)"><span id="Heraldic_eagle_reverse_.281800.E2.80.931805.29"></span>Heraldic eagle reverse (1800–1805)</h3></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_(heraldic_eagle).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_%28heraldic_eagle%29.jpg/275px-NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_%28heraldic_eagle%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="275" height="139" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_%28heraldic_eagle%29.jpg/413px-NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_%28heraldic_eagle%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_%28heraldic_eagle%29.jpg/550px-NNC-US-1800-5C-Draped_Bust_%28heraldic_eagle%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6411" data-file-height="3250" /></a><figcaption>1800 Draped Bust half dime with heraldic eagle reverse</figcaption></figure> <p>Following a two-year hiatus, mintage of half dimes resumed in 1800. The obverse remained essentially the same as the prior version, but the reverse was revised substantially. The eagle on the reverse now had outstretched wings, heraldic style. This reverse design first appeared on gold quarter and half eagles and then dimes and dollars in the 1790s. Mintage of the series never surpassed 40,000, with none produced in 1804. No denomination or mintmark appears on the coins; all were minted in Philadelphia.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Capped_Bust_(1829–1837)"><span id="Capped_Bust_.281829.E2.80.931837.29"></span>Capped Bust (1829–1837)</h2></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg/275px-NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg" decoding="async" width="275" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg/413px-NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg/550px-NNC-US-1829-5C-Capped_Bust.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5904" data-file-height="3000" /></a><figcaption>1829 Capped Bust half dime</figcaption></figure> <p>Production of half dimes resumed in 1829 based on a new design by Chief Engraver <a href="/wiki/William_Kneass" title="William Kneass">William Kneass</a>, who is believed to have adapted an earlier John Reich design.

The design features Liberty seated on a rock and holding a shield and was first conceived in 1835 used first on the silver dollar patterns of 1836. The series is divided into several subtypes. The first was struck at Philadelphia in 1837 and New Orleans in 1838 and lacks stars on the obverse. In 1838 a semicircle of 13 stars was added around the obverse border, and this basic design was used through 1859. In 1853, small arrows were added to each side of the date to reflect a reduction in weight due to rising silver prices, and the arrows remained in place through 1855. The arrows were dropped in 1856, with the earlier design resumed through 1859. In 1860, the obverse stars were replaced with the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the reverse wreath was enlarged. This design stayed in place through the end of the series. The Seated Liberty half dime was produced at the Philadelphia, San Francisco and New Orleans mints in an aggregate amount of 84,828,478 coins struck for circulation.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> See also <a href="/wiki/United_States_Seated_Liberty_coinage" title="United States Seated Liberty coinage">United States Seated Liberty coinage</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1870-S_half_dime">1870-S half dime</h3></div> <p>In 1978 a coin collector surprised the coin collecting community with an 1870–<a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Mint" title="San Francisco Mint">S (San Francisco)</a> half dime, believed to have been found in a dealer's box of cheap coins at a coin show. According to mint records for 1870, no half dimes had been minted in San Francisco; yet it was a genuine 1870-S half dime. At an auction later that same year, the 1870-S half dime sold for $425,000. It is believed that another example may exist—along with other denominations minted that year in San Francisco—in the cornerstone of the old San Francisco Mint. Later in July, 2004, the discovery coin sold for $661,250 in MS-63 in a Stack's-Bowers auction.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span
