The Seated Liberty Dollar, minted from 1840 to 1873, features the iconic Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a liberty cap. The 1868 issue is particularly notable among collectors due to its limited mintage and distinctive design elements. The coin weighs 26.73 grams and consists of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a diameter of 38.1 mm. Collectors often seek out high-grade examples for their artistic merit and historical significance within the U.S. coinage series.
