Description
The 1822 Capped Bust Dime is a dime produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Capped Bust Dimes 1809-1837 series. With a mintage of 100,000, this is an extremely rare issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 100% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a mob cap or turban and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. With a mintage of approximately 100,000, the 1822 is the key date of the Capped Bust Dime series. High-grade examples are very rare. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $3.1K to $43K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 89.2% silver, 10.8% copper, weighing 2.7 grams, 19 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #4497.
