Liberty Seated Dimes were minted in the United States from 1837 to 1891, featuring a design by Christian Gobrecht. The 1859 Liberty Seated Dime showcases a seated figure of Liberty holding a shield and a cap, symbolizing freedom and protection. The coin, composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, has become a collectible item due to its historical significance and artistic design. The 1859 issue, in particular, is sought after by numismatists, especially in higher grades, due to its relatively low mintage and the condition of surviving examples.
