Seated Liberty Dime Value Guide

Minted from 1837-1891

The Seated Liberty Dime was produced from 1837 to 1891, showcasing a design by Christian Gobrecht, the third Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. The obverse features Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a staff with a Liberty cap.


The reverse bears a wreath enclosing the denomination. The Seated Liberty Dime is a popular coin among collectors, particularly for its long mintage period and various subtypes.


Throughout its production, the Seated Liberty Dime saw various design modifications, such as the addition of stars surrounding the obverse portrait, the removal of these stars, and the addition of the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" on a banner above the wreath on the reverse.


These changes resulted in several subtypes, offering collectors an exciting challenge. The 1871-CC and 1873-CC "No Arrows" are among the rarest and most valuable issues in the series, coveted by collectors for their scarcity and historical context.
