Seated Dollars are a type of silver coin issued by the United States Mint from 1840 to 1873. The 1857 Seated Dollar was produced in Philadelphia and features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht, depicting Liberty seated with a shield and a liberty cap. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and numismatic appeal, particularly in higher grades due to their limited mintage and condition rarity. The Seated Dollar series is notable for its various design modifications over the years.
