1803 $10 Capped Bust. Extra star. . T-30, Rarity 4. PCGS graded AU-58. Nice and sharp with plenty of luster. A few stray light hairline scratches here and there, none too serious. Sparkling golden iridescence imbues this satiny beauty with a life of its own. Add a high degree of luster and the appeal is virtually irresistible in spite of the aforementioned hairlines and light abrasions on the surface. Struck with exactitude on the hair, cap, shield and eagle's breast. The wings, too, along with the tail show intrictate detail from the die, with all arrow points visible, all leaves in the branch at right plain. Most of the stars above the eagle somewhat rounded or flat.
T-30 was once thought to be a rarity; however, it is now the most plentiful 1803 die marriage (PCGS # 88565) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
