Dansco Coin Albums have been a trusted companion for both seasoned numismatists and budding coin collectors, providing a reliable storage solution. The Bust Dime 1796-1837 Dansco Album, housed in a 3/4″ binder, is specifically designed to hold and display a collection of up to 48 coins. With 4 Dansco pages (series: 6121-1 to 6121-4), this album offers a comprehensive presentation of all Draped and Capped Bust dimes minted from 1796 to 1837.
The Draped Bust dimes were struck from 1796 to 1807 and featured a reverse design that lacked any indication of their denomination. In 1809, John Reich introduced a redesign for the Capped Bust dimes, which continued to be minted until 1837. The new design included an obverse and reverse featuring the addition of the lettering “10C” to denote the dime’s value.
All Bust dimes, both Draped and Capped, were composed of 89.24% silver and 10.76% copper. These coins weighed 2.70 grams and had varying diameters. Draped Bust dimes measured 19 mm in diameter, while Capped Bust coins minted from 1809 to 1827 measured approximately 18.8 mm. The Capped Bust dimes struck from 1828 to 1837 had a slightly reduced diameter of approximately 18.5 mm.
The Philadelphia Mint exclusively minted all Bust dimes, highlighting their historical significance within the American numismatic landscape. Dansco Coin Albums further enhance the preservation and presentation of these valuable coins. The pages of the album are attached with metal screws, ensuring easy addition and replacement of coins as desired.
