The Draped Bust Dimes Small Eagle, issued in 1797, represent one of the earliest designs of the United States dime. Struck during a time of developing national identity, these coins feature a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a small eagle on the reverse. Collectors value the 1797 Draped Bust Dimes not only for their historical significance but also for their limited mintage and rarity, making them a prized addition to any numismatic collection. The design reflects the early aesthetic style of American coinage, capturing the transitional period in U.S. history.
