<p>Values are approximate retail ranges and can vary significantly based on eye appeal, certification, strike quality, toning, and current market demand. Rare die varieties may sell for substantially more than the ranges shown below.</p>
<h2>Key Date Capped Bust Dime Values</h2>
<p>While every Capped Bust Dime has collector appeal due to its age and silver content, certain dates and varieties are considerably more valuable than others. Low mintages, die varieties, and historical significance all contribute to higher premiums.</p>
<h3>1809 Capped Bust Dime Value</h3>
<p>The 1809 issue marks the first year of the Capped Bust Dime series, making it a popular type coin among collectors of early U.S. silver. Even heavily circulated examples typically command strong premiums over common dates.</p>
<p>Coins in Good condition often sell for more than $150, while attractive Mint State examples can reach several thousand dollars. Demand remains strong because many collectors seek an example from the inaugural year of the series.</p>
<h3>1814 Capped Bust Dime Value</h3>
<p>The 1814 Capped Bust Dime is one of the most important dates in the series due to its multiple collectible varieties. Collectors can pursue Small Date and Large Date examples, but the most famous is the rare STATESOFAMERICA variety.</p>
<p>This dramatic minting variety displays “STATESOFAMERICA” as a single word on the reverse and is highly sought after by advanced numismatic collectors. Standard 1814 dimes often sell for hundreds of dollars, while certified STATESOFAMERICA examples can command five-figure prices depending on condition.</p>
<h3>1822 Capped Bust Dime Value</h3>
<p>The 1822 issue is widely recognized as one of the key dates in the Capped Bust Dime series. Its relatively low mintage and limited surviving population make it difficult to locate in any grade. Even well-worn examples frequently trade for several hundred dollars, while problem-free Extremely Fine specimens can bring several thousand dollars.</p>
<p>High-grade examples are especially scarce and attract strong competition whenever they appear at major auctions.</p>
<h3>1824/2 Overdate Value</h3>
<p>Among the most popular die varieties in the series is the 1824/2 overdate. This variety was created when a previously dated die was repunched with a new date, leaving visible traces of the underlying numeral.</p>
<p>Overdate coins have long fascinated collectors because they provide insight into early Mint production methods. The 1824/2 variety generally sells for a premium above common-date Capped Bust Dimes, with values increasing substantially for well-preserved certified examples.</p>
<p>Collectors who encounter any of these key dates should consider professional authentication and grading, as rarity and condition can dramatically impact market value.</p>
<h2>What Is a Capped Bust Dime?</h2>
<p>The Capped Bust Dime was designed by John Reich, an engraver at the U.S. Mint. It replaced the Draped Bust Dime. Its predecessor was the Draped Bust Dime, which ran from 1796-1807.</p>
<p>The new dime had an obverse that featured Liberty with a Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom. The reverse displays a bald eagle holding arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. As an era-specific coin, appraisal and evaluation of its authenticity are crucial for collectors to ensure it is a genuine piece of early American minting.</p>
<p>These dimes were minted exclusively at the Philadelphia Mint, and their production spanned from 1809-1837. However, there were several years when no dimes were minted, making certain dates particularly rare and contributing to their scarcity.</p>
<h2>Capped Bust Dime Composition</h2>
<p>The Capped Bust Dime underwent several changes in composition, diameter, weight, and edge design in its 1809-1837 run. Here’s a quick breakdown of the coin’s characteristics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Composition:</li>
<li>1809-1828: 89.24% silver to 10.76% copper</li>
<li>1828: 89.2% silver and 10.8% copper</li>
<li>1837: 90% silver and 10% copper</li>
<li>Weight:</li>
<li>1809-1836: 2.70 grams</li>
<li>1837: 2.67 grams</li>
<li>Diameter:</li>
<li>1809-1828: 18.8 mm</li>
<li>1828-1837: 18.5 mm</li>
<li>Edge:</li>
<li>1807-1836: Lettered</li>
<li>1837: Reeded</li>
</ul>
<h2>Years Without Capped Bust Dime Production</h2>
<p>The U.S. Mint did not produce Capped Bust Dimes during the following years:</p>
<ul>
<li>1810</li>
<li>1812</li>
<li>1813</li>
<li>1815</li>
<li>1816</li>
<li>1817</li>
<li>1818</li>
<li>1819</li>
<li>1826</li>
</ul>
<p>These gaps were often due to low demand for smaller denominations, operational challenges like the fire at the Philadelphia Mint in 1815, or the Mint prioritizing the production of other coins. Consequently, the trade of these coins today often requires a thorough knowledge of what years produced these coins.</p>
<h2>Factors That Affect Capped Bust Dime Value</h2>
<p>Several factors influence the value of a Capped Bust Dime, including:</p>
<h3>Rarity</h3>
<p>Certain years are more valuable because fewer coins were minted or because none were produced in some years. For example, 1814, 1820, and 1822 are highly sought after. Some collectors may even prioritize acquiring dimes made from specific metals such as silver due to their allure and historical worth.</p>
<h3>Condition (Grade)</h3>
<p>The condition of the coin plays a major role in its value. Graded coins with higher conditions, such as Fine (F) or Mint State (MS), fetch significantly higher prices than those in Good (G) condition. A thorough evaluation before purchase ensures the authenticity and true value of the coin.</p>
<ul>
<li>Good (G): Heavy wear with details barely visible.</li>
<li>Fine (F): Moderate wear with many details visible.</li>
<li>Extremely Fine (XF): Light wear, with nearly all details sharp.</li>
<li>Mint State (MS): No wear, with full luster and sharp details.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Variety</h3>
<p>The Capped Bust Dime series has several significant varieties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Large Diameter (1809–1827): 18.8 mm diameter, slightly larger and heavier.</li>
<li>Small Diameter (1828–1837): 18.5 mm diameter, adjusted for standardization.</li>
<li>Small Date and Large Date Varieties: The years 1814, 1820, 1821, and 1828 feature both small and large date varieties. These differences in numeral size and style are often subtle but can impact a coin's value significantly, with some varieties being more sought after by collectors.</li>
<li>1814 STATESOFAMERICA Variety: A rare and highly desirable minting error where "STATESOFAMERICA" appears as a single word with no spacing. This error adds a unique historical appeal and fetches a premium among collectors.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each variety has unique features and can affect the coin's overall value and worth, which is further amplified by professional appraisal.</p>

<p>The auction results above highlight the factors that drive the highest Capped Bust Dime values. While many examples sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, the finest known specimens can bring much more when they reach the market.</p>
<p>The 1822 Capped Bust Dime stands out as one of the key dates in the series due to its low mintage and limited surviving population. When an example appears in exceptional condition, collectors often compete aggressively for the opportunity to own it. The same is true for rare varieties such as the 1814 STATESOFAMERICA dime and the popular 1824/2 overdate.</p>
<p>Condition is just as important as rarity. A scarce coin with heavy wear may sell for far less than a similar coin with strong details and original surfaces. Professional grading can also influence value by giving buyers confidence in a coin’s authenticity and preservation. Together, rarity, condition, and collector demand determine the record prices seen at major auctions.</p>
<h2>How to Determine the Value of Your Capped Bust Dime</h2>
<p>To assess the value of your coin, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Examine the Date: Determine the year of minting and check if it’s a rare date or variety.</li>
<li>Assess the Condition: Look for wear and consider having the coin professionally graded by a service like PCGS or NGC.</li>
<li>Check for Varieties: Look for unique features such as Small/Large Date variations, overdates, or minting errors like STATESOFAMERICA.</li>
<li>Compare Prices: Research recent auction results or use online price guides for current market values.</li>
</ol>
