1837-1891 Liberty Seated Dimes Avg Circ
During the middle and late nineteenth century, the United States ten-cent piece underwent a beautiful artistic transformation. Issued from 1837 to 1891, these silver dimes showcase the artistry of Christian Gobrecht. Each coin contains 0.0715 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver, representing a long-running era of American circulating coinage backed by the federal government. The obverse of this ten-cent piece presents a graceful depiction of Lady Liberty seated. In her hands, she holds a shield alongside a staff topped with a liberty cap, symbols of vigilance and freedom. The reverse design features a lush wreath that encircles the face value of the coin, which is inscribed as ONE DIME. Surrounding this central wreath are the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, marking its origin with quiet dignity.
