The Liberty Seated Dime, issued from 1837 to 1891, features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1861 Philadelphia Mint version is particularly notable among collectors for its historical context, as it was produced during the Civil War. The coin typically showcases a seated Liberty figure holding a shield and a pole topped with a Liberty cap, with a denomination of 10 cents inscribed. Its numismatic significance, mintage figures, and condition contribute to its desirability among collectors of United States coins.
