1847 Liberty Seated Dime Fine
This silver ten-cent piece from 1847 offers a tangible look at early United States coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver at the Philadelphia Mint, this dime contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was produced in Philadelphia, the coin does not carry a mint mark, which was the standard practice for the facility during this era. The obverse features the classic Liberty Seated design created by Christian Gobrecht. Liberty is shown resting on a rock, holding a staff topped with a liberty cap in one hand while her other hand supports a shield. The reverse side displays the words ONE DIME encircled by a detailed wreath, surrounded by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
