Draped Bust Dimes were minted in the United States from 1796 to 1807, with the 1797 issue being particularly notable. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins feature a design by artist Gilbert Stuart, portraying a female figure representing Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 10c denomination was part of the early U.S. coinage system and is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. The 1797 Draped Bust Dime is especially rare and valuable, with a few surviving examples in varying conditions.
