Am I correctin in thinking that only the Half Dime, Dime, Quarter and Half Dollar participated in the whole arrows at date thing to show the change is silver content?

    My 1873-s seated dollar has arrows at the date.

    Is it a trade $ or a Seated Lib. $?

    That's correct. There were no arrows placed on the dollar coin in 1853 because its silver content did not change when the fractonal coinages did. The law in 1873 did not change the silver content either, it eliminated the coin completely.
