Description
Returning to the seated figure motif, J-855 features a modified version of William Barber's Seated Liberty — Liberty seated left with shield and olive branch, but distinguished from the Group 2 obverse by subtle differences in the figure's proportions and the arrangement of the drapery. Unlike Group 2 which used the regular dime reverse, this group pairs the Seated Liberty obverse with the Standard wreath reverse bearing 10 CENTS, STANDARD, and the date. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, this combination bridges the traditional seated format with the new Standard Silver denomination marking.
