The Draped Bust Dimes are collectible coins produced by the United States Mint from 1796 to 1807, characterized by their iconic design featuring a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a simple, flowing design on the reverse. The 10-cent denomination was the first dime issued by the U.S. Mint, and these coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage, particularly the 1796 issue, which is known for its rarity and appeal among numismatists. The Draped Bust design marked an important transition in American coinage, embodying the early republic's aesthetic and values.
