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 Quarter series. The Seated Liberty series is one of the earlier coin collections that consisted of every coin matching in means of its design. 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.
The Seated Liberty Dime 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. With a mintage of over 7.3 million, the 1889 Seated Liberty Dime is abundant in most grades. Considered to be in good condition, the 1889 Seated Liberty Dime will contain extreme wear, resulting in a very smooth coin. 1889 is an important date in US history because the first total solar eclipse was seen in California and Nevada, Grover Cleveland becomes the 22nd president of the US, and Orange County is established in California.
