1886 Liberty Seated Dime Good
The year 1886 saw the production of a classic American ten-cent piece crafted from 90 percent silver. Minted in Philadelphia, this Liberty Seated dime contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal and represents a long-running era of United States coinage design. The obverse of this dime displays the iconic image of Lady Liberty seated. In her hands, she holds a staff topped with a Phrygian cap, while her other hand rests upon a shield inscribed with the word "LIBERTY". The year 1886 is clearly struck beneath her feet, with the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircling the central figure. On the reverse side, the denomination "ONE DIME" is featured prominently in the center. This text is encircled by a detailed wreath, a traditional motif that completes the elegant layout of this nineteenth-century silver coin.
