Design and Specifications of the 1876 Dime
The 1876 Seated Liberty Dime was minted during the United States' centennial year, a time of great national pride and celebration. This coin design, featuring Lady Liberty seated on a rock, had been in circulation since 1837 and would continue until 1891. The year 1876 was significant not only for the country's 100th anniversary but also for ongoing economic challenges following the Panic of 1873.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1876 Seated Liberty Dimes significantly impacts their value. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are highly sought after by collectors, with premium prices for those grading MS65 or higher. The Carson City (CC) mint mark adds considerable value, especially in higher grades, due to its lower mintage and the mint's historical significance.
Factors such as strike quality, luster, and absence of contact marks play crucial roles in determining a coin's grade and value. Toning can also affect desirability, with attractive, natural toning often commanding a premium among collectors.

The 1876 date holds special appeal due to its centennial year status, potentially increasing collector interest and value. For all mint locations, coins with sharp strikes and full luster are particularly desirable.
The Carson City (CC) mint mark is a key factor in this coin's value, as the mint's relatively short operational period and lower production numbers make these coins more scarce. Additionally, any die varieties or errors, while not commonly noted for this year, could significantly increase a coin's value if discovered.
Lastly, provenance can play a role in value, especially for high-grade specimens. Coins with a documented history of belonging to notable collections or appearing in important auctions may command a premium.
