1877 Liberty Seated Dime VF
The 1877 Liberty Seated dime offers a fascinating window into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in 0.900 fine silver, this ten-cent piece contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents a classic era of United States currency, backed as official legal tender by the federal government. On the obverse, the design by Christian Gobrecht presents Liberty in a seated position. She holds a staff topped with a liberty cap in one hand, while her other hand rests upon a shield. The year 1877 is clearly visible beneath her feet. The reverse side displays a detailed wreath that encircles the face value of the coin, which is inscribed as ONE DIME.
