Liberty Seated Dimes were produced by the United States Mint from 1837 to 1891, featuring a seated figure of Liberty on the obverse. The 1851 New Orleans Mint issue, marked by the "O" mintmark, is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the lower mintage compared to other years. The 10-cent denomination was made from 90% silver, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection, especially in higher grades. Collectors often seek out specific years, mintmarks, and condition when pursuing Liberty Seated Dimes, with the 1851-O being a noteworthy example.
