“1837-O (Gobrecht)”, “1853-O (Arrows &
Rays)”, “1874-S”, “1874-CC” Fantasy Seated Liberty Dollars – Production Blog
The Seated Liberty dollar was first produced as the rare “Gobrecht” type (without obverse stars and with a Flying Eagle reverse) in 1836, 1838, and 1839. None were produced in 1837. None of the Gobrecht type ever had any mint mark. No Seated Liberty Dollars (of any type) ever had an obverse mint mark.
Seated Liberty Quarters and Halfs were produced in 1853 with arrows at date and rays on reverse. Seated Liberty Dollars were produced in 1853, but none of those had arrows or rays, or any mint mark.
The last year for Seated Liberty Dollar production was 1873. None were dated 1874 or after. The 1873-S Seated Liberty Dollar is an enigmatic coin. US Mint records indicate that 700 were minted, but none are known to exist as of 2022.
