BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/24/2024 10:49 pm 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. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 11:33 pm No surprises, it's what I expected. This is the JR-4 large 8 variety. I refer to this as the "broken arrow" variety. & Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 11:55 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 09/14/2024 12:04 am Nice looking 1814, adam590. On the reverse, is that graffiti under UNUM or something else? Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 09/14/2024 12:12 am 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.. Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 09/14/2024 12:24 am I don't think it detracts either. Blown up in pictures marks that are fractions of millimeters can look large. Report this Post to the Staff
