1887 Liberty Seated Dime Good
The 1887 Liberty Seated dime represents a fascinating era in United States coinage, serving as a bridge between two distinct design periods. This ten-cent piece belongs to the long-running Liberty Seated series, which was the direct successor to the Capped Bust coinage and was eventually replaced by the Barber design. Crafted from 90 percent silver, this coin contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the coin features the iconic depiction of Liberty seated on its obverse, while the reverse displays the denomination. The legible inscriptions on the coin include the country name, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, alongside the face value of ONE DIME and the year of production, 1887. This particular specimen is preserved in Good condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that circulated during the late nineteenth century.
