1887 Liberty Seated Dime VF
This ten-cent piece from 1887 offers a window into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in 90 percent pure silver, the coin contains approximately 0.0721 troy ounces of precious metal. Having survived more than a century, this particular specimen remains in Very Fine condition, showing the clear details of its classic engraving. The front of the coin displays the iconic image of Liberty resting on a rock. In her right hand, she supports a shield, while her left hand balances a staff topped with a liberty cap. The year 1887 is inscribed beneath her feet, and the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircle the central figure. On the reverse side, a delicate wreath encircles the words ONE DIME, emphasizing the face value of the coin in a simple yet elegant arrangement.
