It has a denomination of 10 cents, and is made of silver, weighing 2.5 grams and with a diameter of 17.9 millimeters. It was produced as a proof coin, which means it was struck specifically for collectors and exhibits more detail and a higher quality strike compared to regular coins produced for circulation. The Seated Liberty design has long been cherished by numismatists, and this particular piece from 1890 is notable for its rarity, given its limited mintage of just 590 coins. As part of the United States coinage series, it features the iconic image of Lady Liberty seated, surrounded by various symbolic elements that reflect the values of the era. With no specified width or height, the focus remains on its impressive craftsmanship and historical significance. This dime represents not only financial value but also a piece of American history, perfect for collectors looking to enhance their collections with high-quality and historically relevant items. Its value may vary based on its condition and market demand, but as a proof coin from a low mintage year, it is likely to hold significant collectible value.
