About This Series
Although no patterns survive, if indeed any were made, the year 1840 saw the Liberty Seated silver dollar struck in quantity for the first time for circulation. The design was modified from that made by Gobrecht, with Liberty now appearing less delicate, and with drapery from her left elbow. The reverse of the circulating coins featured a perched eagle holding an olive branch and three arrows, with the denomination ONE DOL. below, an adaptation of that used to coin half dollars for circulation beginning in 1838 (with Capped Bust obverse).
The modifications were made by Robert Ball Hughes, who was employed by the Mint to finesse the earlier Liberty Seated motif by Gobrecht.
