Seated Dollars were a type of silver coin minted in the United States from 1840 to 1873, featuring a design by Engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1862 Seated Dollar was produced at the Philadelphia Mint and is notable for its relatively low mintage, making it a collectible piece among numismatists. These coins typically contain 90% silver and 10% copper, and they showcase the iconic representation of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a rod and a liberty cap. Collectors value the 1862 edition for its historical context during the Civil War era.
