Us Dimes Silver

Dime

US Dimes were authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792. In this Act, also known as the Mint Act, the United States Congress established the United States Mint and created a decimal system for U.S. currency.

The dollar was set as the unit of money in the United States and was declared to be lawful tender.

The Act of 1792 also authorized the mintage of the 'disme' which would be 1/10th of the silver weight and value of a unit or dollar.

Disme (pronounced 'deem') is French for tithe or tenth part.

In 1792, the disme was created as a pattern coin but never saw circulation.

The first US dimes that were created for circulation were the Draped Bust Type in 1796. These dime pieces were not marked with their denomination however.

US Dimes would not see a mark denoting value until 1809 when the Capped Bust Dime was marked with '10 C.' on the reverse.

Listed below are the US Dimes along with an image and a short description. Click the links for more information and stats.
