DIME 1828-1837 Capped Bust, Closed Collar

Description

Aside from minor changes to the previous style, the biggest change in this coin is the size. Note the diameter of this coin is 17.9 mm compared to 18.8 of the previous 1809-1827 style. Today none of the dates are considered rarities. Some varieties within the date range, however, may fetch a higher price if you find the collector seeking to upgrade a collection with a finer specimen.

This variety is an adaptation of the previous 1809-1827 style with the change in diameter being the most significant. In addition, the border has denticles spaced closer together than on the previous type (although some transitional pieces have the old denticle style). The stars are slightly smaller, and there is some subtle restyling. Dimes of this format were made from 1828 through 1837 inclusive. No dates are rarities, although there are several elusive varieties within the range. Examples are available in all grades from Good through Uncirculated, with Very Good to Very Fine being the most often seen. Uncirculated pieces are elusive, and ones in higher states of the Uncirculated category are rare

Valuation

Although this dime may appear smaller in size than the previous style, its total weight is exactly the same as the style preceding.
