Capped Bust Dimes are a series of ten-cent coins minted in the United States from 1809 to 1837. The 1823 Capped Bust Dime features the portrait of Liberty wearing a capped headpiece on the obverse and an eagle with arrows and an olive branch on the reverse. This particular year is significant as it contains a distinct variety known as the "Small Date," characterized by the smaller size of the numerals in the date. Collectors value Capped Bust Dimes for their historical significance, artistry, and varying degrees of rarity, particularly for specific dates and mint marks.
