Draped Bust Half Dimes are a type of collectible coin that were minted in the United States from 1796 to 1805. Produced primarily in Philadelphia, these coins feature a classical depiction of Liberty on the obverse side, with the inscription "LIBERTY" and the year of minting. The reverse displays a simple wreath, highlighting the coin's denomination of "H10c." The 1796 Draped Bust Half Dime is particularly significant as it represents the first year of issue for this design, making it a sought-after item among numismatists and collectors.
