Description
Part of the Draped Bust Dimes 1796-1807 series, the 1805 Draped Bust Dime - 5 Berries is a dime from the Philadelphia Mint. The U.S. Mint produced 120,780 examples, making this 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). Multiple die varieties including the 4 Berries and 5 Berries reverse types. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $760 to $25K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 2.7 grams, 19.8 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #4478.
