1886 Seated Liberty Dime

Christian Gobrecht’s Seated Liberty design dominated American silver coinage for over half a century, and by 1886, the series was in its final years. These late-date Philadelphia dimes represent the pinnacle of the mint's technical execution during the Gobrecht era, benefiting from refined hub designs and experienced press operators.

While late-date Seated dimes are occasionally found in lower Mint State grades, a specimen at the MS67 level is a true condition rarity. The green CAC sticker confirms that this piece meets the strict standards of quality and preservation required for the grade, surviving in a state of preservation rarely seen for 19th-century circulating coinage.

For the advanced collector of American silver, this dime offers an opportunity to acquire a virtually unimpeachable example of Gobrecht’s artistry. It is an elegant, historically significant addition to any cabinet.
