About Collectible US Bust Dimes

The first US dime, known as the Draped Bust dime, was designed by Robert Scot. It was first struck in 1796 and didn’t include the denomination on the coin. The obverse featured the Liberty bust with stars on either side. The reverse originally featured a skinny eagle with a wreath, but in 1798, it was replaced with a fatter heraldic eagle.

Dime production halted in 1806 and 1808; no dimes were produced during those years. In 1809, "10C" was added to the coin to note its worth. Liberty was depicted wearing a hat and turned to face the left. This design is known as the Capped Bust dime, and lasted until 1837 when it was replaced by the Seated Liberty dime.
