Christian Gobrecht completed the design of this dime.  There were several minor varieties during the Seated Liberty's run
Variety 2: 1838 - 1853, stars on obverse, no drapery from elbow, tilted shield.
Variety 3: 1853 - 1855, arrows at date.
Variety 4: 1860 - 1873, legend on obverse.
Variety 5: 1873 - 1874, arrows at date.
 Variety 4 resumed 1875 - 1891. The most valuable EF40 being an 1872cc.

Still looking for my first
