Liberty Seated Dimes are a type of silver coin that was produced in the United States from 1837 to 1891. The 1869 Philadelphia Mint issue is part of this series, featuring a design by Christian Gobrecht that depicts the goddess Liberty seated on a rock, with the inscription "LIBERTY" on a ribbon. The reverse showcases an eagle with a shield, surrounded by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance, artistic design, and silver content, with the 1869 dimes being particularly sought after in higher grades due to their relatively limited mintage and age.
