Seated Liberty - Liberty Seated Dollars 1840 to 1873

The Philadelphia Mint (no mintmark) struck all dates from 1840 to 1865 inclusive; New Orleans (O), struck dollars dated 1846, 1850, 1859 and 1860; the San Francisco Mint (S), struck this type dollar only in 1859. Mintmarks are located under the olive branch, between the eagle’s feet on the reverse. Assembling a complete date and mint set in lower circulated grades is within reason, given patience, perseverance and money.
