1798–1807: Draped Bust Dime (Heraldic Eagle Reverse Type)

1798–1807 Draped Bust Dime Heraldic Eagle history

The Heraldic Eagle reverse replaced the Small Eagle on dimes dated 1798. Dated issues exist for 1798, 1800–1805, and 1807; no 1799 or 1806 Draped Bust dimes were issued.

Robert Scot’s Draped Bust obverse continued throughout the subtype. Die-state and variety study focuses on date punches, star arrangements, reverse lettering, and the shielded eagle rather than assuming every calendar year in the heading had production.
