The 1828 Capped Bust Dime in VG8 condition, graded by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) and identified as JR-2, refers to a specific variety within the 1828 Capped Bust dime series. Here's a detailed look at this coin:
-
Design: The Capped Bust Dime was designed by John Reich and features on the obverse Lady Liberty facing left, wearing a cap with the word "LIBERTY" on its band, surrounded by stars representing states. The reverse shows an eagle with a shield on its breast, an olive branch, and a bundle of arrows, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DIME" inscribed.

VG8 (Very Good): This grade indicates the coin has seen significant circulation:
-
Details are quite worn, especially on the high points like Liberty's cheek and the eagle's breast.
-
Major features like the date and stars on the obverse, and the eagle on the reverse, are still identifiable but heavily worn.
-
There's likely to be no mint luster remaining, and the coin might show scratches, nicks, or other damage from circulation.
