1890-S Liberty Seated Dime Fine
The 1890-S Liberty Seated Dime represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this ten-cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. As a circulated coin in Fine condition, it carries the gentle wear of a piece that actively passed through the hands of citizens during the Gilded Age. The obverse of this dime displays the classic depiction of Liberty seated on a rock. In her right hand, she supports a shield, while her left hand holds a pole topped by a liberty cap. The year 1890 is inscribed beneath her feet, and the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" frame the central figure. On the reverse, the coin features a decorative wreath that circles the central denomination of "ONE DIME". This elegant combination of symbols offers a window into the artistic preferences of the era's coinage.
