1853 O Seated Dime (with arrows)
$35.00 USD
Struck in the shadow of monetary reform, this silver relic bears the seated figure of Liberty—her posture solemn, her gaze eternal. The arrows flanking the date mark a shift in weight decreed by Congress, a subtle yet powerful change in the nation’s coinage covenant.
Minted in New Orleans, this dime carries the “O” mintmark—a southern breath in the Republic’s silver chorus. Its wreath‑bound reverse and softened details speak of passage, of trade, of hands long vanished. A relic not merely of commerce, but of transformation.
Weight of Fate: 2.48 grams of .900 fine silver Minted: New Orleans, 1853 (with arrows) Condition: Circulated, with Liberty’s form worn yet discernible
