1872 Liberty Seated Dime Good
The 1872 Liberty Seated dime offers a fascinating glimpse into nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in 90% fine silver with a precious metal weight of 0.0773 troy ounces, this ten-cent piece represents a classic era of United States minting. Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin survives in Good condition, showing the honest wear of a piece that once circulated widely in daily commerce. On the obverse, the design presents Lady Liberty seated. In her left hand, she supports a staff topped with a liberty cap, while her right hand rests upon a shield, symbolizing protection and freedom. The year 1872 is clearly marked beneath this central figure. The reverse side of the coin focuses on the denomination, displaying the words ONE DIME. This text is encircled by a detailed wreath, completing a design that defined the look of American silver pocket change for decades.
