Capped Bust Dimes were minted in the United States from 1809 to 1837, with the 1820 issue being produced in Philadelphia. These dimes are characterized by their distinctive design featuring a draped bust of Liberty wearing a cap, symbolizing freedom. The coins are composed of 89.24% silver and 10.76% copper, and they are valued by collectors for their historical significance, artistic design, and relatively low mintage numbers during certain years. The 1820 Capped Bust Dime is a notable example within the series, contributing to its desirability among numismatists.
