Liberty Seated Dimes were minted in the United States from 1837 to 1891, featuring a design that showcases Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a branch. The 1891 San Francisco Mint produced these dimes with a specific mintmark, which is important for collectors. The dimes are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them valuable not only for their numismatic appeal but also for their precious metal content. Collectors often seek out specific years and mintmarks to enhance their collections, with the 1891 San Francisco version being one of the many sought-after dates due to its historical significance and relative rarity.
