I truly like the coin. Didn't know of the JR-5 version. I must read more about these patterns.

A very solid F15.
I saw this example of 1814 JR-5 this morning (credit: GFRC ) which is graded PCGS VF25. Please use this example as a measure to compare my example to (at least with regard to the grade).
(I hope this is OK and allowed).
Very nice looking - F15 my wager
Solid vf20 maybe vf25.
VF25. Yours looks slightly less worn than the example but not enough to bump it up to a 30 IMO.

I believe it would grade vf20. Comparison coin's leaves are little more defined as well as ear. JMO

VF30 IMO, nice original coin.

I would grade it VF20 from the images. The drapery merges with the bust which is usually a quick indicator for me that it shouldn’t grade higher. Then I let the rest of the details decide 15 vs 20.
I like the VF area. I am curious with what is going on near nose and mouth, not looking like die clash. Also could have an old cleaning that has retoned, but like the look.
I like it at VF-20. Can't get more solid than that crusty look!

Thank you, everybody for your comments.
This example came to me in a small group of Capped Bust Dimes I bought at a Bowers & Merena auction in the early 90"s. The lot also contained an 1809 and an 1822 dime.
This is the 2nd. example of 1814 JR-5 in my collection. This example is ex. Stacks auction in the mid 90"s.
Beautiful! Looks like a "lock" AU-58 CAC.
