Description
The 1800 Draped Bust Dime is a dime minted at the Philadelphia Mint, within the Draped Bust Dimes 1796-1807 series. With a mintage of 21,760, this is a scarce issue. The obverse features Liberty facing right with draped bust and ribbon-bound hair, designed after a Gilbert Stuart portrait and the reverse displays a small, naturalistic eagle perched on a palm branch within a wreath (1796-1797) or a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM (1798-1807). After a gap in 1799, dime production resumed with the heraldic eagle reverse. Estimated market value ranges from $1.2K to $54K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 89.2% silver, 10.8% copper, weighing 2.7 grams, 19.8 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #4470.
