Description

A dime from the Philadelphia Mint, the 1804 Draped Bust Dime - 14 Star Reverse belongs to the Draped Bust Dimes 1796-1807 series. With a mintage of 8,265, this is an extremely rare issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. 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). Low production at Philadelphia. All dates from 1801-1804 are scarce. Coined at the Philadelphia facility, the nation's original mint that has operated continuously since its 1792 founding. Estimated market value ranges from $8.4K to $106K 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 #4475.
