The 1851-O Seated Liberty Dime in AU55 condition, graded by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), is an impressive specimen within the realm of numismatics:

Design: This dime features the Seated Liberty design by Christian Gobrecht, which was in use from 1837 to 1891. The obverse shows Lady Liberty seated on a rock, with "LIBERTY" above, the date below, and thirteen stars encircling. The reverse displays an eagle with a shield, olive branch, and arrows, surrounded by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DIME."
Condition (AU55):
AU55 (About Uncirculated): This grade indicates the coin has seen very minimal circulation:
Only the slightest wear on the highest points like Liberty's cheek, her arm, and the eagle's breast.
Virtually full mint luster remains, with just a few minor contact marks or slight impairments.
At AU55, the coin is very close to being considered uncirculated, making it highly desirable due to its near-mint state condition.
Rarity: The 1851-O Seated Liberty Dime is not among the rarest issues in the series, but finding one in AU55 condition is quite exceptional. The "O" mintmark signifies it was struck at the New Orleans Mint, which often had lower mintages compared to Philadelphia, contributing to its relative scarcity in high grades.
