VF Details--Tooled (PCGS).This is a predominantly silver gray dime with plenty of bold striking detail remaining to the major design elements. The surfaces are a bit glossy in texture, and a concentration of pin scratches over and around the obverse portrait further explains the PCGS qualifier. As the first issue in the Capped Bust dime series, the 1809 is a popular type candidate at all levels of preservation.From the Boston Old City Hall Collection.
