I have a coin that says 10c on it and I'm wondering what that means. Is it referring to the value of the coin or something else? I'm curious to know the significance of this marking.

The absence of numeric value markings on later dime coins can lead to confusion.

This unique marking distinguishes it as the only dime minted with the value given in cents.

This is particularly true for foreign visitors who may be unfamiliar with the coin's value.
