Liberty Seated Dimes, minted from 1837 to 1891, are a notable series of U.S. coinage known for their artistic design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1872 Philadelphia Mint version features Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a liberty pole, with the date prominently displayed on the coin's obverse. As part of the 10-cent denomination, these coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and varying mintages, with the 1872 edition being notable for its lower mintage and higher demand among enthusiasts.
