This is an 1821 Capped Bust Dime, a silver coin struck by the United States Mint. The obverse features the iconic Capped Bust of Liberty, while the reverse displays a heraldic eagle. This example is graded Good (G), indicating it experienced extensive circulation. The condition reflects heavy, even wear consistent with the assigned grade, with all major design elements and lettering visible but worn. Liberty's facial features and the eagle's feather details are significantly softened, showcasing a dark, somewhat mottled patina. Minor contact marks and scratches are present from circulation, adding to its historical character. The coin is composed of 89.24% silver, contributing to both its numismatic and intrinsic bullion value. A genuine example preferred by collectors, it’s a desirable early 19th-century U.S. coin.
