Post a picture or tell us about a draped bust dime in your collection.
The only one I have at the present time is a 1798, large 8, PCGS 61, mintage 27500.
I see lots of post about the quarters and halves but very few about the dimes.
I know that I am not the only one who likes these coins.

I'm sure you could figure it out from the reverse stars, but this is a 1798/7 16 star reverse.
(I also have an 1807 in FR-02/01 which, unlike this, is original unmessed with)

<< <i>You likely will not get many folks posting these lovely little coins since they are far tougher to obtain than their larger cousins the quarters, halves and dollars. >>
That is very true!!!! I always wanted a really nice example of the type in VF but could not find one . Several years ago I came accross a very nice one ( just what I wanted) at David Lawrence and I didn't jump right on it and someone else did. It was priced at around $750. I will never see that price again and really can't pay what they are bringing now. Just one of my many regrets particularly with draped bust anything they have really shot up. I never thought the dimes were that rare and you can find them but most of them have problems.
<< <i>Here's a couple dimes... I wouldn't call myself a draped bust dime collector... more like an "any nice, original early draped bust or flowing hair type will do for me" kind of collector.

I love that 1796, great coin!
I will keep this one, as it is the discovery coin for this die state and probably within R-8 rarity
I may sell this, one of four 1803's graded by ngc/pcgs in F12-F15, the earlier die state of the above coin
1798 large 8 PCGS 61
