Learn More About U.S. Seated Liberty Dimes (1837-1891)

 

Preceded by the Bust Dime, the Seated Liberty dime debuted in 1837 and was designed by U.S. Mint engraver Christian Gobrecht. Its obverse features a seated Lady Liberty sitting on a rock, looking over her right shoulder. With her left hand, she holds a pole with a Phrygian or freedom cap, while her right hand steadies a shield inscribed with the word “LIBERTY” on a scroll. Different iterations of the series included the addition of 13 stars or the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” encircling the Liberty figure. Lady Liberty herself underwent subtle design variations, including the addition of drapery at her elbow. The date of the coin appears underneath her. The reverse design of the Seated Liberty dime series featured different versions of a laurel wreath, with and without the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” always having the words “ONE DIME” in the center.
