Capped Bust Dimes are a type of U.S. silver dime minted from 1809 to 1837, featuring a profile of Liberty with a capped head. The 1827 Philadelphia mint issue is particularly notable among collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance. These dimes are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them valuable as both numismatic items and precious metal. The design, created by engraver John Reich, showcases the classic aesthetic of early American coinage.
