1891-O Liberty Seated Dime VF
The year 1891 marked the final chapter for one of America's most enduring coin designs. Struck in New Orleans, this silver dime represents a classic era of United States coinage. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains approximately 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal and carries a face value of ten cents. The obverse side presents a detailed depiction of Liberty in a seated position. In her left hand, she supports a staff topped with a liberty cap, while her right hand rests upon a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. The year of issue, 1891, is clearly visible beneath this central figure, surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. On the reverse, a delicate wreath circles the central denomination, which reads ONE DIME. This particular specimen survives in Very Fine condition, showing the characteristic wear of a coin that circulated during the late nineteenth century while still preserving the essential details of its historic artwork.
