    Seated liberty dime 1887, made by the US mint from 1837 to 1891.

    This is an 1887. It is 90% silver.

    Yes it is indeed the "Seated Liberty" dime.

    Liberty sitting on a rock, wearing a dress and holding a staff with a liberty cap on top. All Seated Liberty dimes contain 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, and are 17.9 millimeters (0.705 inch) in diameter.
