1839-O Liberty Seated Dime Good
This silver dime from 1839 represents an early era of American coinage, minted at the New Orleans branch mint. Struck in 90% silver, the coin contains approximately 0.0773 ounces of the precious metal. Despite its worn, historical state, the coin carries the distinct artistry of the early United States Mint. The front of the coin displays Liberty seated upon a rock. In her hands, she holds a shield alongside a pole topped with a Phrygian cap, a classic symbol of freedom. The reverse side features the words "One Dime" positioned directly above the "O" mint mark, which signifies its origin in New Orleans. This central text is framed by a detailed laurel wreath, with the surrounding inscription reading "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."
