The Capped Bust Dime was designed by Mint Assistant Engraver John Reich.
The Capped Bust dime was introduced in 1809. But it had a sputtering start, being struck only four times in its first eleven years: 1809, 1811, 1814 and 1820. From 1820, however, it was struck...

With the introduction of the Capped Bust Half Dime in 1829, the U.S. five-cent coin finally “took.”

Teddy Roosevelt was not only an Army cavalry hero, leading the charge up San Juan Hill in the Spanish American War, but also a visionary naval historian, whose legacy includes one of the most descriptive of “collector” notes, the Fr. 747-780 Battleship Note, which bears a large U.S. war ship on its back.

Here’s a chance for a collector to acquire a super rarity, unpriced in the standard Friedberg catalog “Paper Money of the United States” but not mortgage both the house and the back forty to acquire it. This note has a lot of eye appeal too, and a great story thrown in for the bargain.
