The 1809 Capped Bust Silver Dime is a legendary numismatic treasure, marking the inaugural year of the iconic Capped Bust design created by Mint Assistant Engraver John Reich. Boasting an incredibly low original mintage of just 51,065 coins, it is highly coveted by collectors. Due to heavy circulation and the passage of time, experts estimate that only 200 to 350 examples survive today in all grades, making it an exceptionally rare find.
