More About This Collection
Capped Bust Dimes (1809–1837)
The Capped Bust Dime was introduced in 1809, featuring a design by John Reich, a German-born engraver who served as Assistant Engraver to United States Mint Chief Engraver Robert Scot.
Reich's design replaced the earlier Draped Bust Dime and introduced a new portrait of Liberty facing left, wearing a cap secured with a band inscribed LIBERTY. Thirteen stars surround the portrait, with seven to the left and six to the right, and the date appears below.
The reverse features an American eagle with a shield across its breast, holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. A banner bearing E PLURIBUS UNUM appears above the eagle, surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, with the denomination 10C below.
History of the Capped Bust Dime
The first Capped Bust Dimes were struck in 1809, with a mintage of 51,065 coins. No dimes were issued with an 1810 date, and production resumed in 1811 with a mintage of just 65,180.
The series includes numerous collectible die varieties, including overdates, differences in lettering, and variations in the size and placement of numerals.
During the early nineteenth century, coinage dies were prepared individually and frequently reused or modified. This practice resulted in distinctive varieties that remain an important part of collecting early American silver coins.
Major Capped Bust Dime Varieties
The Capped Bust Dime series includes two principal design types:
Large Size, Lettered Edge (1809–1828): The original design, measuring approximately 18.8 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Early issues are especially notable for their die varieties and overdates.
Small Size (1828–1837): A smaller-diameter version introduced in 1828, retaining Reich's general design while incorporating modifications to the portrait and lettering.
Collectors also recognize important overdate varieties, including the 1811/09 and 1822/1, along with numerous die marriages identified through specialized numismatic research.
Collecting Certified Capped Bust Dimes
Capped Bust Dimes are collected by date, condition, die variety, and historical significance. Early dates, scarce varieties, and well-preserved examples are particularly appealing to collectors of nineteenth-century U.S. silver coinage.
Certified Capped Bust Dimes graded by PCGS, NGC, and CACG, along with CAC-approved examples, provide professionally authenticated examples of this historic American coin series.
