Design and Specifications of the 1829 Dime
The 1829 Capped Bust Dime is part of the Capped Bust series, which was produced from 1809 to 1837. This coin represents an important period in early American coinage, as the nation was still establishing its monetary system and refining its coin designs.
The Capped Bust design was created by German-born engraver John Reich, who was hired by the U.S. Mint to improve coin designs. This series marked a significant improvement in coin aesthetics and struck quality compared to earlier designs.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of an 1829 Dime. Coins in higher grades (AU and above) are particularly sought after due to their scarcity. Uncirculated examples are extremely rare and command significant premiums.
Key factors affecting condition include:
- Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full details are more desirable
- Luster: Original mint luster adds significantly to the coin's appeal
- Surface preservation: Minimal contact marks or scratches increase value
- Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance desirability among collectors
Mintage: 770,000
Rarity Scale: Scarce
Circulation Status: Limited Circulation
Preservation Rarity: Rare in grades MS65 and above
Varieties Errors: Large 10C and Small 10C varieties
Market Demand: High, especially for well-preserved specimens
Variety collecting is an important aspect of early U.S. coinage. The 1829 Dime has two major varieties: the Large 10C and Small 10C. The Small 10C variety is scarcer and typically commands a premium.
Other factors influencing value include:
- Historical significance: As an early American coin, it appeals to history enthusiasts
- Type set demand: Required for Capped Bust Dime type sets
- Overall eye appeal: Subjective factor that can significantly impact value
- Provenance: Coins with notable ownership history may command a premium
