1853 Liberty Seated Dime w/Arrows VG
In 1853, the United States Mint produced a distinctive variation of its silver ten cent piece. This coin, struck in 90% fine silver, stands out immediately due to the tiny arrowheads placed on either side of the date. These small design elements make the 1853 issue a particularly compelling piece for those exploring nineteenth century American coinage. The front of the coin displays a seated figure of Lady Liberty. She rests on a rock, holding a staff topped with a Phrygian cap in one hand, while her other hand supports a shield. The reverse side features the words stating the denomination, surrounded by a detailed wreath. This specific coin has been preserved in Very Good condition, showing honest wear from its time in circulation over a century and a half ago.
