Up for sale is an affordable, honest piece of mid-19th-century American history: an 1843-O Seated Liberty Dime. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this coin was minted during an era of western expansion and circulated heavily in the pre-Civil War United States.

This coin features Very Good to Fine (VG/F) design details, showing crisp lines on Liberty's gown, strong perimeter lettering, and well-defined wreath leaves on the reverse. Please note that the coin is holed at the top of the obverse design. This was a very common practice in the 1800s to wear a silver coin as a lucky charm, necklace, or bracelet. It is a perfect, budget-friendly placeholder for a tough New Orleans date, or a fantastic addition to a specialized collection of historic jewelry coins.
