The 1809 Draped Bust Dime with a Small Eagle is a notable collectible coin from the United States, representing a transition in design during the early 19th century. The Draped Bust design, created by artist Robert Scott, features a representation of Liberty with flowing hair, while the reverse showcases a small eagle, which signifies the period's focus on symbolizing American identity. These dimes were minted in an era when silver coins were widely used, and their limited availability makes them sought after by numismatists and collectors. The 1809 date adds to its historical significance, making it a desirable piece for those interested in early American minting practices.
