This 1844 Seated Liberty Dime is a notable piece of American numismatic history. Minted at the Philadelphia Mint, it features the classic design of the Seated Liberty series, which is cherished among collectors for its elegant artistic representation. This particular coin has a denomination of 10¢ (Ten Cents) and is composed of silver, weighing approximately 2.67 grams and having a diameter of about 17.9 millimeters. With a mintage of only 72,500 pieces, the 1844 Seated Liberty Dime is considered relatively rare, contributing to its appeal among numismatists. The absence of a mint mark—indicating its Philadelphia origin—is characteristic of coins from this period. Although the dimensions include a width and height of 0.00000000, the essence of the coin lies in its storied heritage and craftsmanship. As part of the broader Coins subtype, the Seated Liberty Dime represents an important chapter in the evolution of American coinage, reflecting both the artistic trends and economic conditions of the early 19th century. This coin is not only a medium of currency but also a tangible piece of history that collectors value for its rarity, artistic merit, and historical significance.
