Capped Bust Dimes are a series of ten-cent coins produced by the United States Mint between 1809 and 1837. The design features an image of Liberty wearing a capped headband on the obverse, with the inscription "Liberty" and the date. On the reverse, an eagle is depicted with a shield, surrounded by the words "United States of America" and "10 Cents." The 1836 Capped Bust Dime is particularly sought after by collectors, as it represents a transitional phase in U.S. coinage before the introduction of the Seated Liberty design. These coins are valued for their historical significance, artistry, and rarity, especially in well-preserved conditions.
