Lot 461
1814 Capped Bust Dime. Small date. EF-45. A gorgeous coin that has splendid toning of steel gray at the rims, brighter at the centers. However, there is a very shallow staple scratch over the date and another behind Liberty's head. These are old and toned over, and many will scarcely notice them at all. This one was probably cleaned decades ago, but it is still quite appealing. The small date is one of the scarcer varieties of the year.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J. C. Macallister on February 20, 1945 for $12.50.
