Seated Dollars are a type of silver coin produced by the United States Mint, notable for their depiction of Liberty seated on a rock, designed by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1872 Seated Dollar was minted in San Francisco, characterized by its distinct "S" mintmark. These coins contain 90% silver and 10% copper, and they are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and aesthetic appeal. The 1872 issue is part of a limited mintage, making it particularly valuable among numismatists.
