The Capped Bust Half Dimes are a series of coins that were minted in the United States from 1829 to 1837. The 1834 issue, produced in Philadelphia, features a design by artist William Kneass, showcasing a bust of Liberty wearing a cap, which symbolizes freedom. The H10c denomination (half dime) at 10 cents was popular in circulation during this period, and it is collected for its historical significance and varying mintages. Coins from this era are often sought after by numismatists for their intricate designs and the role they played in early American commerce.
