Seated Dollars, minted from 1840 to 1873, are a type of silver coin issued by the United States. The 1851 Seated Dollar features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht, portraying Liberty seated on a rock, holding a pole with a cap, symbolizing freedom. These coins were struck in 90% silver and are known for their numismatic value, often sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relatively low mintage in certain years. The Seated Dollar series serves as a key component in the broader category of US collectible coins, reflecting both artistic and monetary history.
