Draped Bust Dimes were issued in the United States from 1796 to 1807, with the 1797 variety being particularly noteworthy. Designed by Robert Scott, the obverse features an image of Liberty wearing a flowing gown and a draped bust, while the reverse displays a small eagle surrounded by a wreath. The 1797 dime is notable for its limited mintage and design variations, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. These coins reflect the early American aesthetic and the country's burgeoning national identity during its formative years.
