1877-S Liberty Seated Dime Good
The 1877-S Liberty Seated dime represents a fascinating era of United States coinage, minted in San Francisco with a composition of 90 percent silver. This ten-cent piece, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal, shows the honest wear of a circulated coin while preserving the core elements of its historic imagery. On the obverse, the design by Christian Gobrecht depicts Lady Liberty seated. She holds a staff topped with a Phrygian cap in one hand, while her other hand rests upon a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Below this central figure, the year 1877 is clearly visible. The reverse of the coin features a detailed wreath that encircles the face value. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DIME are struck on the surfaces, completing a design that circulated widely during the late nineteenth century.
