The Seated Dollar is a type of silver coin struck by the United States Mint between 1840 and 1873, featuring a depiction of Liberty seated on a rock. The 1857 Seated Dollar is particularly notable as it was minted during a time of economic change in the U.S. The coin contains 90% silver and 10% copper, with a diameter of 38.1 mm. Collectors often seek this date for its historical significance and as part of a broader collection of U.S. silver coins from the 19th century.
