This is an 1842 Seated Liberty Silver Dime in Very Fine condition. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, this classic 19th-century American coin features Lady Liberty seated on a rock on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. It is composed of 90% silver. The coin displays moderate, even wear on high points of the design, with details in Liberty's gown, the shield, and the wreath visible but softened. The coin has a natural, slightly dark patina, with no major scratches, rim dings, or evidence of harsh cleaning apparent from the photos. As a member of the popular Seated Liberty dime series, this coin is an excellent addition for collectors of 19th-century U.S. coinage. The 1842 Philadelphia issue (no mint mark) is a common date, making it an accessible entry point for collectors. Inventory #179
