The Seated Liberty design was used on all coinage, such as the dime, quarter, and half dollar. This was the trend until 1916, wherein the US Mint assigned different designs to all the denominational coins. The Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mint participated in the production of the Seated Liberty Quarter. The San Francisco Mint was established until 1854 so it joined in later on for the series. The New Orleans Mint opened intermittently from 1838-1861 then again from 1879-1909. The Old Mint, as it was also called, still stands as an official landmark, seeing its fair share of history. It's ownership switched 3 times in a matter of two weeks during the Civil War. Once it was decommissioned, it was used as a Coast Guard storage facility, fallout shelter, and assay office.
The 1841-O Seated Liberty Dime has a mintage of just above 2 million and can be more difficult to find in the higher grades. Considered to be in very good condition, the 1841-O Seated Liberty Dime will have wear that compromises the details of the coin. 1841 is an important date in US history because Fordham University opened in the Bronx, the first ongoing filibuster occurs in the Senate, and the US saw two presidents swear in during the same year. The Seated Liberty Dime series is perfect for experienced collectors, since it carries low minted coins with high premiums. Collectors also enjoy this series as an investment, due to its 90% silver content.
