Lot 1464
1795 $10 Capped Bust. 13 leaves below eagle. . Tar-2. NGC graded MS-62. A choice coin for the grade, the surfaces are a lovely yellow-gold color and free of toning or distracting marks. Both sides of the coin have minor adjustment marks, generally at the rim, but a few crossing the eagle's breast. The fields are reflective and retain much of their original mint shine, subdued by hairlines and minor handling marks, none of which are important or unexpected on a coin of this grade. The rims and fields show no bumps or other abuse, and this is a truly beautiful example of our first Eagle coin. Well struck throughout, with full curls on Liberty and stars on the obverse, and excellent details on the wing and breast feathers. One of the better ones graded of this date, NGC has seen 21 graded this high, with 12 graded a notch higher, and just 3 above that. An important type coin that always generates well deserved collector attention any time one is available.
Estimated Value $40,000 - 50,000.
