Seated Dollars are a type of silver coin issued by the United States Mint, featuring a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht that includes a seated Liberty figure. The 1850 Seated Dollar is part of a series minted from 1840 to 1873, primarily struck in 90% silver. These coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, aesthetic appeal, and the varying mintages that often enhance their value. The 1850 date mark is particularly important as it represents one of the earlier issues in this series, making it a key date for collectors.
