The Draped Bust Dimes, particularly the 1809 Small Eagle variety, are a type of collectible coin issued by the United States Mint during the early 19th century. Titled for the depiction of Lady Liberty draped in a flowing gown, the design was created by artist Robert Scott and represents an important era in U.S. coinage. These dimes were minted in Philadelphia and feature the Small Eagle reverse, which shows a less detailed eagle than later designs, making them less common and thus more desirable to collectors. The 1809 Draped Bust Dime is particularly sought after due to its historical significance and rarity.
