1890 Liberty Seated Dime Good
The 1890 Liberty Seated dime offers a window into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted in Philadelphia, this ten-cent piece is composed of 90% silver, containing approximately 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. As a sovereign coin, it carries the full backing of the United States government. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features the figure of Liberty seated on a rock. In her hands, she holds a staff topped with a liberty cap, while her other hand rests upon a shield. The year 1890 is inscribed below the central figure. On the reverse, the words ONE DIME are encircled by a detailed wreath. This elegant combination of classical imagery and simple typography represents a major design era in United States numismatic history, making the Liberty Seated series a captivating subject for study.
