For the first time since 1945, Liberty returns to the obverse of the dime. The 2026 S 10C Emerging Liberty Dime commemorates America's 250th anniversary with a one-year-only design symbolizing the birth of a new nation.

Issued as part of the U.S. Mint's 2026 S Semiquincentennial Silver Proof Set, this .999 fine silver proof coin departs from the Roosevelt portrait, introducing an entirely new obverse and reverse created exclusively for the Semiquincentennial.

Coin Design

• Obverse — The obverse depicts a determined Liberty wearing a stars-and-stripes Liberty cap as the winds of revolution sweep through her hair, symbolizing the birth of a new nation.
• Reverse — The reverse features an eagle carrying arrows in its talons, symbolizing the American Revolution and the colonists' fight for independence. The inscription LIBERTY OVER TYRANNY reinforces the coin's Revolutionary War theme.
