1875 Liberty Seated Dime

Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Seated design served as the backbone of American silver coinage for over half a century, capturing the quiet dignity of a maturing nation. By 1875, the Philadelphia Mint was producing dimes that represented the pinnacle of late-nineteenth-century domestic commerce, just as the country prepared for its centennial.

This 1875 issue represents a classic moment for the series, free of the arrows at the date from the preceding years. To find an example preserved in Gem Mint State 65 is a rare privilege. While the vast majority of these dimes saw heavy circulation in the post-Civil War economy, this piece escaped that fate entirely, its quality validated by both PCGS and a green CAC sticker.

For the collector of classic United States silver, a Gem Seated dime of this caliber offers an ideal blend of historical significance and exceptional preservation. It stands as a refined representative of Gobrecht's artistry.
