1891 United States Seated Liberty Dime, Silver
An 1891 United States Seated Liberty dime struck in 90% silver. The date is fully legible in the exergue, and the type is confirmed by the obverse and reverse devices.
The obverse displays Liberty seated on a rock, facing left, holding a liberty pole topped with a Phrygian cap in her left hand and steadying a Union shield inscribed LIBERTY with her right. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the periphery, with the date 1891 below. The high points of the head, breast, and knees are worn smooth, though the major outlines and shield stripes remain visible.
The reverse shows the legend ONE DIME within a wreath of corn, wheat, maple, and oak leaves.
1891 was the final year of the Seated Liberty dime series, which had run since 1837. The design was replaced the following year by Charles E. Barber's Liberty Head dime.
