Draped Bust (1796–1807)
Draped Bust dime in 1796 was the first dime to be in circulation. It was designed by Chief Engraver Robert Scot and it featured the same obverse and reverse as all other circulating coins of the time, the so-called Draped Bust/Small Eagle design. Initially, in 1796, there were 15 stars on the obverse, representing the number of states then in the Union.
With Tennessee's admission as the 16th state on 1797, the dimes were minted with 16 stars. Eventually the addition of one star per state was no longer practised as it could clutter the coin's design. Thus, Elias Boudinot, the U.S. Mint Director at that time ordered a design alteration, to feature only 13 stars, reflecting the 13 original colonies. Therefore, 1797 dimes can be found with either 13 or 16 stars.
