The Liberty Seated Dime is a ten-cent coin that was minted by the United States from 1837 until 1891. The 1870 San Francisco Mint issue is noteworthy as it was struck during a period of significant growth for the San Francisco Mint. These dimes feature a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht, depicting Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield in one hand and a Liberty pole with a cap in the other. The 1870 version is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical context and the limited mintage from that year.
