1845-O Liberty Seated Dime Fine
Struck in 1845, this ten-cent piece is a survivor of the pre-1933 era of United States coinage. Minted in New Orleans, Louisiana, the coin carries the historical "O" mint mark, distinguishing it from its Philadelphia-minted counterparts of the same year. This dime represents a fascinating period of early American branch minting, when silver was transformed into circulating currency far from the nation's capital. The obverse of this silver coin features the iconic Liberty Seated design, showing the figure of Liberty holding a staff and shield, with the year 1845 inscribed below. On the reverse, the denomination is clearly indicated as "ONE DIME" surrounded by a wreath, with the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircling the design. Composed of 90 percent silver with approximately 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal, this piece has survived in Fine condition, showing honest wear from its time in active commerce.
