Numismatic News - One of the most prolific U.S. silver coin designs is the Seated Liberty. It appeared on six denominations between 1836 and 1891.

The obverse, with variations over time, was used on Half Dimes (1837-1873), dimes (1837-1891), 20-cent pieces (1875-1878), quarters (1838-1891), halves (1839-1891) and dollars (1836-1873).
