The Liberty Seated Dimes, minted from 1837 to 1891, feature a design by Christian Gobrecht that depicts Liberty seated on a rock. The 1873 Liberty Seated Dime is particularly notable as the San Francisco Mint produced several varieties, including the No Arrows and With Arrows types, which indicate differences in the coin's design relating to silver content and weight regulations. These dimes are sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and varying minting marks. The 1873 issue is part of a series that reflects changes in American currency and metal standards during the 19th century.
