Liberty Dime was produced at 2 US mints: Philadelphia which is shown as 1887-P in this list and San Franbcisco which is shown as 1887-S in this list. To determine which coin you have it is necessary to locate the mint mark. This mark will be a small letter located on the reverse [tails] side of the coin just below the wreath. The letter "S" is for San Francisco. If there is no letter the coin was minted at Philadelphia. The circulated and uncirculated values of these coins are shown in the following list:
Circulated Grades.............1887-P.............1887-S
G4.........................................$18................$18
MS66.....................................$1,400............$3,250
Christian Gobrecht completed the design of this dime, whose obverse was used with every circulating silver U.S. coin of the period. Mint Director Robert Maskell Patterson requested a new coin design, to be reminiscent of the Britannia image found on coinage of the United Kingdom. Chief Engraver William Kneass drew the original sketches, but suffered a stroke and was too ill to finish them or to oversee preparation of the dies. The task then fell to Gobrecht, who was promoted to Second Engraver.
The obverse features an image of Liberty sitting on a rock, wearing a dress and holding a staff with a liberty cap on top. Her right hand is balancing a shield with the inscription "LIBERTY." The reverse featured the inscription "ONE DIME," surrounded by a wreath. All Seated Liberty dimes contain 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, and are 17.9 millimeters (0.705 inch) in diameter. This size and metal composition would continue until 1965, when silver was permanently removed from circulating dimes
