The Philadelphia Mint is almost as old as the US, being established in 1792 by the Founding Fathers. It still stands today, offering the best coin series the US has to offer! The 1878 Seated Liberty Dime was minted in abundance, with over 1.7 million minted, and is oftentimes easily accessible. The 1878 Seated Liberty Dime is considered to be in very good condition, with extreme wear on the coin. Minted by the Philadelphia Mint, the 1878 Seated Liberty Dime carries no mint-mark.
The Seated Liberty design was used on all coinage, such as the dime, quarter, and half dollar. This was the trend until 1916, wherein the US Mint assigned different designs to all the denominational coins. The Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mint participated in the production of the Seated Liberty Dime. The San Francisco Mint was established until 1854 so it joined in later on for the series. The 1878 Seated Liberty Dime shares the date with some other important US events. In 1878, the Bland-Allison Act was established, which began the minting of the Morgan Silver Dollar. The first African American artist, Marie Williams, performed a song at the White House and The Yale News became the first college newspaper in the US.
