1796 Draped Bust Dime. NCS graded Details of VF-20. Tooled. A popular first year issue. Light toning here and there (PCGS # 4461) .

Historic note: Although the dime is an essential part of America's decimal coinage system, it was one of the last coins issued by the United States Mint when operations first began. By the time it made its debut in 1796, as thedraped bust, small eagle dime, the Mint had already been making copper cents and half cents for three years; silver dollars, half dollars and half dimes for two years; and even two gold coins -- the eagle and half eagle -- for a year. The only other coins delayed, like the dime, until 1796, were the quarter dollar and quarter eagle.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.

 
Realized $1,809
