Owner Comments:
I acquired this 1814 large date Capped Bust dime uncertified at a local coin auction in 1997. When I submitted it to NGC in June 2023, I thought that NGC might regard it as "cleaned" due to the lighter appearance of the higher points of the devices and some slight streakiness. They did. I regard the coin's appearance as acceptable for a coin of its age.
I took the photos before submitting the coin for grading.
