October 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1814 Capped Bust Dime. JR-3. Rarity-2. Large Date. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. This lovely near-Gem is attractively toned in a blend of copper-gray, reddish-apricot and cobalt blue. Well struck with uniformly denticulated borders and overall sharp definition, a smooth satin texture further enhances this coin's appeal for high grade type or variety purposes. One of the more readily obtainable dates in the Capped Bust, Wide Border dime series of 1809 to 1828, the 1814 has an estimated population of 1,750 to 2,500 coins in all grades (per Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill, 2015). We stress, however, that no issues or varieties of this type are plentiful in Mint State, especially relative to the demand that such coins enjoy among today's quality conscious collectors. PCGS Population (all die marriages of the issue): 3; 15 finer (MS-66+ finest). PCGS# 4488. NGC ID: 236W. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
