1799 $10 Capped Bust. Small obverse stars. Our grade is Sharpness of AU. Typical balanced strike on the main devices, everything clear and sharp. (The Mint in 1799 applied all of its quality control to gold Eagles and Half Eagles, but scrimped when it came to Large Cents, which tended to be more or less mediocre strikes.)

Of 10 die varieties for 1799 (total mintage for the date, 37,449), BD-7 is relatively plentiful. According to Dannreuther, only BD-10 of this year and BD-2 of 1801 are seen more often. Hence, a suitable choice for ones Gold Type Set to represent this early-day Capped Bust $10 (PCGS # 98562) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
