Capped Bust dimes were minted in the United States from 1809 to 1837, featuring a distinctive design by John Reich. The 10-cent denomination, produced at the Philadelphia mint, showcases a profile of Liberty with a capped headwear, symbolizing freedom. The early series, particularly the 1809 Capped Bust dimes, are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage. These coins are often valued based on their condition, rarity, and demand in the numismatic market.
