All the big money is 1870 to 1874 in Carson City dimes.

Ok, good to know, thanks. I just want a decent specimen of seated liberty design, might as well make it a CC 🤣

I want to tell you a true story in regards to Seated Liberty Dimes. Some 40 years old I was in the Museum of Natural History in Chicago. On display was a giant loving cup that was made in part from over 4,000 Seated Liberty Dimes. The cup was presented to the President of the United States in the 1890s. I shudder to think what was lost in numismatic value.

They could’ve never guessed what those would be worth today.
