Description and History
Although Capped Bust Dimes were minted first in 1837, there was an impetus to change the design again. As with the Half Dime coinage, the task fell to Christian Gobrecht who was the Second Engraver of the United States Mint. He had worked for the US Mint as early as 1823, but it was a temporary position. Gobrecht finally became the Chief Engraver in 1840 and held the position until his death in 1844.
