1847 Liberty Seated Dollar AU
The 1847 Liberty Seated dollar represents a classic era of American silver coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this issue is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of the precious metal. It belongs to a production run of just 140,750 pieces, making it a compelling subject for those who appreciate scarce nineteenth-century coinage. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the coin features a detailed obverse depicting Liberty in a seated position. In her right hand, she supports a shield, while her left hand holds a pole topped by a liberty cap. The year 1847 is inscribed beneath this central figure. The reverse of the coin displays a powerful eagle with a shield emblazoned across its chest. The bird is shown perched upon a branch while clutching three arrows in its talons. Surrounding this central image are the inscriptions denoting the issuing nation and the face value of one dollar.
