An 1875 seated Liberty dime would have been 90% silver, 10% copper.  For
interesting write-up, see http://www.coinsite.com, and select (on lower
left) "History of US Coins (by type)".  From the list that is displayed,
scroll down to "1860-91 Dime Seated Liberty Legend Obv".  This appears
to be the only one of the various Seated Liberties that was made in
1875.
