The Draped Bust Half Dime, specifically the 1797 H10c coin, is a notable collectible from the early years of the United States Mint. Struck in Philadelphia, this coin features the iconic Draped Bust design by artist Gilbert Stuart on the obverse, symbolizing liberty. The reverse showcases the denomination with the inscription around a wreath, making it distinct from other half dimes of its era. The 1797 issue is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other coins.
