The 1852 Seated Liberty Dollar (Buy on eBay) had a mintage of just 1,100 coins, representing a decline of 200 from the previous year.

Both originals and restrikes of the 1852 Seated Liberty Dollar exist. The originals were struck for circulation and in proof, although the latter are exceedingly rare. All of the restrikes were proofs.
