1888 Liberty Seated Dime Good
The year 1888 marked a quiet moment in late nineteenth century American coinage, captured beautifully in this silver dime. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this ten cent piece belongs to the long running Liberty Seated series, a design that defined the look of United States silver currency for over half a century. Crafted from 90 percent silver, this coin carries a weight of 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal, surviving today in a well circulated Good condition. The obverse presents the iconic image of Lady Liberty, envisioned by Christian Gobrecht. She is depicted resting on a rock, holding a staff topped with a Phrygian cap in one hand while her other hand supports a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Surrounding her are the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date 1888 below. On the reverse, the coin's face value of ONE DIME is framed by a detailed wreath, offering a glimpse into the artistic style of late 1800s engraving.
