1877-CC Liberty Seated Dime VF
The 1877 Liberty Seated dime offers a fascinating window into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted in Carson City, Nevada, this ten-cent piece is composed of 90% silver, containing approximately 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. Surviving in Very Fine condition, the coin retains clear details from its original striking, showcasing the artistry of its creator, Christian Gobrecht. The obverse features a classic representation of Liberty, depicted in a seated position. In her hands, she holds a shield and a staff topped with a liberty cap, symbols of vigilance and freedom. The reverse design is elegant in its simplicity, featuring a detailed wreath that encircles the face value of the coin. On the reverse, the clear inscription reads "ONE DIME" above the distinctive "CC" mint mark. This small mint mark connects the coin directly to the legendary Carson City facility, which operated during the height of the silver boom in the American West.
