Immerse yourself in the historic Liberty Seated currency of the United States Mint�half dimes, dimes, twenty-cent pieces, quarters, half dollars, Gobrecht dollars, silver dollars, and trade dollars. From 1836 through 1891, these beautiful silver pieces depicted the Goddess of Liberty sitting with a hat and pole. They were manufactured in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco, and they lubricated the wheels of American trade during the Hard Times Era and the nation's gold and silver rushes, as well as the Civil War and its aftermath, before retiring during America's Gilded Age. "Dean of American Numismatics" Q. David Bowers teaches collectors everything they need to know about collecting Liberty Seated coins, including mintages, grading standards, auction records, strategies to establishing a high-quality collection, and more.
