The reverse rim is hardly complete at K1-2. Just don't see this in a VF holder.

Could be a Fine, I am not confident in grading bust dimes under mid VF. $117 is a great price! Time to get the other die marriages  Suffering from bust half fever.

On the other hand, I can't see any dealer at a show marking this as a fine.

Really, how confident are you about this?  If you are, I'll offer a wager. |

Looks all original, low grade, but still in very collectible condition.

It's looks like a nice Fine from here (armchair quarterback you know). I wouldn't go over 15 tops.

The pics above are certainly blurry. For me, the subject coin is a solid F15. Frog, missing rims and no denticles seem to be very common for 1814 VF20 and VF25 NGC and PCGS examples. Below is a typical VF20. Certain aspects of the PCGS example below look better than the subject coin, others worse, IMO. As long as the subject coin looks like the pics, I'll be happy.

With respect, the subject coin and your example are hardly comparable on either side.  |

No worries, Frog, never said or intended to suggest this coin was VF. Given your comment about the reverse rim, I thought I'd share what I've seen on that subject, and the PCGS example I posted was a good example. The devices on this coin are certainly weaker than the VF20.
If it was a clean VF20 coin I'm sure it would have cost more like $250.

On the VF20 PCGS piece, must have gotten hit for the ugly black circle on the reverse, it looks VF+. Really makes the OPs coin look like a 12.

F(12), maybe F(15). The question about the denticles is interesting. My only Large Dentils Capped Bust dime is a standard, common 1814 one. Even on mine, in an AU(55) holder, the rims get really soft. Here is mine--note the rims and how soft the strike gets at the edge.   |

Nice looking 1814, adam590. On the reverse, is that graffiti under UNUM or something else?

Good question. I'm really not sure what they are. In person those are so small and toned over that even under a loupe they don't really distract. This is straight graded, and CAC even gave it the green bean (probably too generously--I don't pay CAC money for this coin), but I think auction houses tend to get more coins to CAC than individual collectors and dealers do...I still liked the coin.
I love the colors and the luster on this so I can tolerate these imperfections on a high end circualted type coin..

I don't think it detracts either. Blown up in pictures marks that are fractions of millimeters can look large.
