This beautiful premium Gem is mostly brilliant with vibrant satin luster and some subtle champagne-gold highlights around the peripheries. Overall boldly struck with the focal features sharp. This impressive condition rarity will be perfect for a high grade type or date set.The 1814 is the third year of Capped Bust dime coinage since the Mint introduced the design in 1809 (no coins of this denomination were struck bearing the dates 1810, 1812 or 1813). The mintage of 421,500 pieces for the 1814 is by far the highest in the dime series as a whole up until that point, demand for small denomination silver coinage obviously increasing on the part of bullion depositors doing business with the United States Mint. Of the five die marriages known to numismatists, JR-3 and JR-4 constitute the majority of coins extant, and both are of interest to specialists since they share the same reverse die without a period after the denomination 10 C. In MS-66, as here, all 1814 dimes are rare irrespective of variety. Expertly preserved and highly attractive, this lovely piece will certainly attract strong bids when it crosses the auction block. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:1.5;">▲</span>
