This is for one coin

Discover a true piece of early American coinage with the 1809–1837 Capped Bust Dime, one of the earliest dimes ever minted by the United States. Produced for circulation during the early 19th century, these coins hold a special place in numismatic history as the first U.S. dimes to display the denomination directly on the coin.

Designed by renowned U.S. Mint engraver John Reich, the Capped Bust Dime features Lady Liberty facing left with her flowing hair topped by a distinctive Freedom Cap, a classic symbol of liberty. The reverse showcases a majestic American Eagle, creating an iconic design that was used across various U.S. coin denominations well into the 19th century.

Capped Bust Dimes are especially appealing to collectors because of their relatively low mintages compared with many later silver dimes. With surviving examples becoming increasingly difficult to find, this is a historical type coin that we rarely have available in quantity, making each opportunity to add one especially noteworthy.

Each purchase includes 1 authentic Capped Bust Dime in G-F condition, showing the wear expected from a coin that circulated nearly two centuries ago. Its age, classic design, and place in the development of American coinage make it a fantastic addition to any early U.S. coin collection.
