Minted at the New Orleans Mint, the 1854-O Arrows Seated Liberty Dime is considered to be in very fine condition and exhibits wear on its surface, with the coin details beginning to fade. The Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mint participated in the production of the Seated Liberty Dime. The San Francisco Mint was established until 1854 so it joined in later on for the series. The New Orleans Mint opened intermittently from 1838-1861 then again from 1879-1909. The Old Mint, as it was also called, still stands as an official landmark, seeing its fair share of history. Its ownership switched 3 times in a matter of two weeks during the Civil War. Once it was decommissioned, it was used as a Coast Guard storage facility, fallout shelter, and assay office.
The Seated Liberty series is the second longest series to ever be minted in the US, after the ongoing Washington Quarter series that is the longest.
