Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1837-1838 Seated Liberty Dime is that it was the first dime to feature the iconic Seated Liberty design, which was created by artist Christian Gobrecht. This design showed Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a staff, and was meant to symbolize the idea of liberty guarding the nation's values. The coin's design was a departure from the previous Capped Bust dime, and marked a new era in American coinage.
