Vinyard Coin Collection: 4 US Capped Bust Dimes

Scope and content:

4 - US Dimes dating 1825,1829,1834,1835. All four of these dimes are of the "Capped Bust" variety, which derives its name from the face of the coin, which includes a bust of Lady Liberty in a cap, surrounded by 13 Stars. The reverse of these coins all feature the same design of an eagle in motion, clutching arrows and olive branches, arced by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. All of these coins are in worn condition, and the 1835 coin has a hold drilled above the eagle on the reverse, likely for use in jewelry. Gift of Chris Vinyard.
