Lot 1466
1795 $10 Capped Bust. 13 leaves below eagle. . Tar-1. Sharpness of EF-45. This coin has been cleaned and burnished lightly to make it appear to be a higher grade, which is too bad as it truly is a high grade coin already. The surfaces show light swirl lines from the burnishing and the surfaces have a polished appearance on both sides. Nevertheless, this coin had very little wear from circulation and has no problems such as distracting handling marks or adjustment marks. On balance, this is a very appealing coin despite its cleaning problems, and we don't doubt that someone will appreciate its many attributes and ignore the minor faults.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
From a Coin Galleries Sale, October 31, 1957, lot 718.
