The Philadelphia Mint produced over 10 million dimes in 1875, making this dime an easier find in most grades for collectors. The 1875 Seated Liberty Dime is considered to be in very good condition. The 1875 Seated Liberty Dime contains extreme wear, with the main images' detail being compromised. The Philadelphia Mint was the main mint, in the US, that produced some of the most valuable coin collections we know today. Being established in 1792, the Philadelphia Mint is almost as old as this US and was founded by the Founding Fathers. The Philadelphia Mint put the US on the international commerce map, allowing for the new country to participate in importing and exporting with other countries.
The 1875 Seated Liberty Dime shares the date with some big events in the US. In 1875, the Civil Rights Act was approved by Congress, the first Kentucky derby takes places, and the Anti-Slavery Society forms in New York. Known as the second longest coin series in history, first goes to the modern Washington Quarter series, the Seated Liberty collection was minted from 1837-1891. The Seated Liberty design was used on the dime, quarter, and half dollar and would be replaced by the infamous Barber coin series. The collection underwent numerous revisions throughout its cycle as the US coinage, creating varietal types for collectors. Some examples of these varieties are large and small dates, stars and no stars, drapery being removed, re-struck mint-marks, and a die crack at various stages of production. The Seated Liberty collection is not for the faint of heart and is mainly popular among experienced collectors.
