The Philadelphia Mint is almost as old as the US, being established in 1792 by the Founding Fathers. It still stands today, offering the best coin series the US has to offer! The 1877 Seated Liberty Dime has a mintage of 7 million minted, and is oftentimes easily accessible. The 1877 Seated Liberty Dime is considered to be in extra fine condition, with light wear on the coin but isn't lacking in detail. Minted by the Philadelphia Mint, the 1877 Seated Liberty Dime carries no mint-mark.
The Seated Liberty design was used on all coinage, such as the dime, quarter, and half dollar. This was the trend until 1916, wherein the US Mint assigned different designs to all the denominational coins. The Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mint participated in the production of the Seated Liberty Dime. The San Francisco Mint was established until 1854 so it joined in later on for the series. The 1877 Seated Liberty Dime shares the date with some other important US events. In 1877, the first lacrosse game was played, Thomas Edison introduces the phonograph, and the Indian Wars were at their peak.
