The Seated Liberty series is one of the earlier coin collections that consisted of every coin matching in means of its design. Minted from 1837-1891, the Seated Liberty coin series goes down in history as one of the longest standing coin collections, after the modern Washington series. For a time, there was a misunderstanding of a law that coins needed to be minted for at least 25 years before being replaced. It wouldn't be until the end of the Barber coin series that this misunderstanding would be redirected. The Philadelphia Mint was established in 1792, by the original Founding Fathers, and as flourished in coin production ever since. Before the Denver Mint, the Philadelphia Mint was the lead coin producer in all of the US, outshining any of her sister mint branches.
With a mintage of over 8 million, the 1888 Seated Liberty Dime is easy to find in most grades. Considered to be in very fine condition, the 1888 Seated Liberty Dime will contain some wear with compromised coin details. 1888 is an important date in US history because the National Geographic Society was first founded in DC, along with the Washington Monument opening for the first time. The Seated Liberty series is perfect for experienced collectors, since it carries low minted coins with high premiums. Collectors also enjoy this series as an investment, due to its 90% silver content.
