1887 Seated Liberty Dime

Christian Gobrecht’s Seated Liberty design served as the bedrock of American silver coinage for over half a century. By 1887, this classic motif was in its twilight years, soon to be replaced by the Barber design. Dimes of this era were the workhorses of daily commerce, meaning the vast majority of the issue was worn down through decades of constant circulation.

Finding a late-date Seated dime in Gem Uncirculated condition is a difficult pursuit for the specialist. This PCGS-graded MS65 specimen is a notable survivor, displaying a lustrous white surface accented by subtle hints of gold. The green CAC sticker confirms its exceptional quality and eye appeal, certifying that it sits comfortably at the top tier of its assigned grade.

For the collector seeking a representative example of Gobrecht's design, this coin offers an ideal combination of technical preservation and honest, original beauty. It is a quiet testament to late nineteenth-century minting artistry, ready for a sophisticated cabinet.
