7-7-11>>> Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1821 Capped Bust dime is the second highest mintage of the variety 1 (Wide Border) coins of the series. But it also has Large & Small date types. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Values given are for the most common "Large Date" type. In general retail values for low grade coins are $40.00-$80.00, better grade are $125.00-$550.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $600.00-$850.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have little or no value to a collector or dealer.
The 1828 Capped Bust Dime showing heavy wear is valued at $60.00-$120.00 better grade is $200.00-$400.00 and over $500.00 for coins with only light wear.
The initial 5 cent coins minted by the US mint were the Shield 5 cent coins - and they were initially minted in the year 1866. Prior to that, the Draped Bust Half Dime, Capped Bust Half Dime, and the Seated Liberty Half Dime were minted. However, there were NO 5 cent coins minted in the year of 1815.
With a date of 1836 it's a Capped Bust dime. Unfortunately, the hole kills the collectible value of the coin. But, depending on the size and location of the hole, someone may want it. Maybe $5.00.
"Capped Bust" refers to the image of Liberty represented on the obverse of the coin. A similar image was used for all US silver coins between about 1807 and about 1839. This is a pointer to an image of a Capped Bust dime - the picture of Liberty is quite similar on the half dollar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Capped_Bust_dime.jpg

1837 is the last year for the Capped Bust dime and the first year for Liberty Seated dimes plus there are 2 varieties of the 1837 Liberty Seated dime. So 3 different dimes are possible for this date. Please post new question with a description of the coin.
I will say yes, only if it's not damaged or been cleaned. As a "type" coin it could still have some value, but not much, maybe $3.00-$5.00.
I am not aware of such a coin. The Draped Bust Half Dime was minted from 1796 - 1797; the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle Half Dime was minted from 1800 - 1805; the Capped Bust Half Dime was minted from 1829 - 1837; and the Liberty Seated Half Dime was minted from 1837 - 1873.
G-4 value is $30.00 for original surface coins

The 1820 Capped Bust dime has three varieties. A large "0" and a small "0" in the date. And the size and spacing of the letters in STATESOFAMERICA. Values are a little different. Take it to a coin dealer for an accurate assessment.
