The Draped Bust Dimes with a Small Eagle design were minted in the United States from 1796 to 1807, but the 1820 issue falls under the larger category of Draped Bust coins, which were designed by artist Robert Scot. The 1820 dimes were produced at the Philadelphia Mint and are notable for their historical significance. Collectors value these coins for their aesthetic appeal and the artistic representation of Liberty, as well as for their rarity in higher grades. The use of a Small Eagle on the reverse indicates the earlier stage of U.S. coinage before the more common heraldic eagle design was introduced.
