The History of the 1869 Liberty Seated Dollar & the New Orleans Mint

Описание: Did you know that a U.S. Mint used to be in New Orleans? The New Orleans Mint operated from 1838 to 1861 and closed during the Civil War, only to reopen again in 1879. It finally closed its doors in 1909. During its time in operation, the mint produced more than 427 million Gold and Silver coins of mostly every American denomination. The New Orleans Mint was known to produce coins of mediocre luster that are not sharply struck, so those well-struck coins are highly valuable. Christian Gobrecht was a famous coin designer who was known for shaking things up.

For example, he came up with the seated Liberty design that appeared on coins like the 1869 Liberty Seated Dollar and inspired the design for the Trade Dollar. This famous U.S. Mint designer is also known for designing the Gobrecht Dollar, the obverse of the Quarter Eagle, Half Eagle, and Eagle coins.
