Guess the Grade -1814 Capped Bust Dime

I have had this very thin dime in a card board holder for many decades. The picture is terrible as I used an iphone to take it. It's hard to see; but, there is a flat wear spot just above the 10 cents on the reverse. Is this type of disappearance of the design to be expected on a two hundred year old dime because of the way they were made? I promise no more future questions like this - I only have two capped bust coins.

    From the fuzzy photos, it looks like a Vf that’s been cleaned.
    The “wear spot” is probably a filled die, or something else with the die or possibly planchet causing the missing details in that area. Quite normal to see this, especially on these early issues.

    The picture shows the coin as being tan. The actual coin is somewhat a dark gray. The area around the stars on the right is darker - almost a crescent in appearance. Appreciate the feedback and it appears it would be worthwhile to submit to PCGS.

    Pictures are quite fuzzy/blurry.... but looks low XF or VF.... If you submit it, let us know what it gets, and post a TruView. Cheers, RickO
