The Liberty Seated Dime, minted from 1837 to 1891, features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1842 Liberty Seated Dime from the New Orleans Mint is particularly notable for its rarity and appeal to collectors. These dimes are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with distinctive details such as Liberty seated on a rock holding a shield and a liberty cap. Mintmarks, such as the "O" for New Orleans, contribute to the coin's desirability and value among numismatists.
