1890 Liberty Seated Dime VF (Details)
The year 1890 marked the final years of a classic era in United States coinage. This ten-cent piece, struck in 90% silver, represents the enduring Liberty Seated design series. Minted in Philadelphia, this coin has survived in a Very Fine circulated state, allowing observers to appreciate the artistry of Christian Gobrecht's original engraving. The obverse side of the coin features Lady Liberty seated upon a rock, holding a staff topped with a liberty cap in one hand while her other hand rests on a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Surrounding her are the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date 1890. This presentation of Liberty was a staple of American pocket change for over half a century. On the reverse, the coin displays its denomination of ONE DIME encircled by a detailed wreath. Backed by the United States government, this small silver coin contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal and offers a tangible connection to the late nineteenth century.
