      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 94496
      Coin Date: 1821
      Denomination (Short): 10c
      Denomination (Long): 10 Cents
      Variety: Small Date
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 89% silver; 11% copper
      Mintage: 1,186,512
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Capped bust dime
      Coinage Years: 1809-1837
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 18.8
      Fineness: 0.8924
      Weight (Grams): 2.7
      Designer: John Reich
      Edge: Reeded
      Obverse Description: Liberty is portrayed, facing left, with cap on her head and the word LIBERTY on her crown. 7 and 6 stars on the left and right periphery, respectively with the date positioned in the bottom center.
      Reverse Description: An eagle is centered in the design with a shield over its chest, holding arrows and olive branches in its talons. A ribbon above bears the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The denomination listed as "10 C." appears at the bottom.
      General Notes: Capped Bust dimes, designed by John Reich, are generally more common than the Draped Bust issues. However, like their earlier counterparts they are challenging to locate in the better Mint States grades. The 1822 and 1829 Curl Base 2 are the rarest issues, with both regularly trading in the four-figure range.
