The Iconic 19th Century Liberty Seated Silver Dollar

Based in Monrovia, California, Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood leads Youngblood Metals Mining and provides dealers of collectibles and antiques with wholesale inventory acquisition services. Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood has a longstanding interest in American coins, and in particular early silver dollars.

Produced from 1840 to 1873, the Liberty Seated Silver Dollar had its basis in the design of Christian Gobrecht. The experimental pressing of Gobrecht dollars lasted from 1836 to 1839, and was limited in quantity, though the coins did enter circulation. The Liberty Silver Dollar subsequently went into wide circulation. The iconic coin features an idealized Lady Liberty, surrounded by 13 stars representing the original US states. The reverse side has an eagle with wings spread, holding arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other.

Minted primarily in Philadelphia, Liberty Silver Dollars were hoarded throughout the Gold Rush years, as silver’s price relative to gold increased. As the Silver Rush hit, minting extended to San Francisco, Carson City, and New Orleans. A majority of Liberty Silver Dollar were exported following the Civil War and throughout the later years of production, as the value of the metal exceeded face value. Shipped overseas, the coins were often melted, and even years with high total production have small numbers of surviving coins.

Most Common Hazards of Early Snowboarding Seasons

Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood is the owner and president of Youngblood Metals Mining. When he is not working, Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood enjoys snowboarding with his children. Early in the season , snowboarders are susceptible to different obstacles in the freshly fallen snow, including unseen branches, tree stumps, or rocks. The cause is a low snow base, or low depth of the packed snow on snowboarding tracks. According to Oregon's Hoodoo Mountain Resort general manager, 150 inches of snow is an ideal snow base. Jutting objects can damage equipment and cause bodily injuries, especially on ungroomed areas such as outskirts of official snowboarding slopes that have not been cleared by resorts or landowners. Obstacles under the snow are not marked, which means that snowboarders must rely on their vision to watch out for rocks, and branches, among other obstacles. The weather plays an important role in preventing injuries, as well. On sunny days, snowboarders may see the occa...
