Lot 460
1814 Capped Bust Dime. Small date. . R-1. PCGS graded AU-55. Lovely antique gray toning on both sides and with a typical strike for this variety. Deeper grays near the devices, so the coin has a bit of a cameo appearance. This is an important Guide Book variety, as only a single pair of dies were used to create the small date 1814, and few are found in grades over Very Fine. PCGS reports just 3 graded as AU-55, with just 6 graded higher. Most show various die cracks, as seen here, and swelling on the obverse and clash marks on the reverse. An important opportunity for the specialist who wants a really high grade example of this variety.
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
