U.S. Dimes 1792-1837 (Draped Bust and Capped Bust) 9. U.S. Quarters 1796-1838 (Draped Bust and Capped Bust) The primary focus of this guide is to have you quickly and efficiently attributing your Draped Bust and Capped Bust Dimes. That used to be no easy task, but we’ve made it far easier than ever before with our down-to-Earth system focusing on naked eye observations (photo memory recall), dentil alignments, close-up photos, as well as clearly illustrated die cracks which we have augmented with lines drawn in order to make them easy to see. The large, full color, modern, ultra-high resolution photos found within were carefully selected for these purposes. The author of this book has had a strong interest in Early U.S. coins for over 30 years. He set out to write this series of books because he has wanted to read them for many years, and finally gave up on waiting for someone else to write them. Good luck!
