Liberty Seated dimes were struck from 1837 through 1891 and were designed by Christian Gobrecht. The long-running Liberty Seated dime series presents numismatists with many challenges, thanks to a plethora of scarce dates and varieties.

  • Variety 2: Stars on Obverse (1838-1853)

  • Variety 4: Legend on Obverse (1860-1873)
  • Variety 5: Arrows at Date (1873-1874)
  • Variety 4 resumed: with weight standard of Variety 5; 2.50 grams (1875-1891)

Several other dates are considerably scarce and command hundreds of dollars apiece in circulated grades.
