The Seated Liberty Dollar is a type of silver coin issued by the United States Mint from 1840 to 1873, featuring a depiction of Lady Liberty seated on a rock. The 1871 Seated Liberty Dollar is particularly noteworthy as it was minted during a time of significant change in U.S. coinage. Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, these coins have become popular among collectors due to their historical significance and the intricate design, which includes Liberty holding a pole with a cap, symbolizing freedom. The 1871 edition specifically had a relatively low mintage compared to other years, making it more desirable in the numismatic market.
