Lot 1467
1799 $10 Capped Bust. Large obverse stars. . Tar-22. Sharpness of EF-40. This coin was probably used as jewelry as the obverse has been entirely scrapped and burnished, and with similar abuse on the reverse. Nevertheless, the coin retains decent eye appeal. One to be inspected by bidders prior to the sale. Possibly mounted as the reeding is missing from the lower left edge relative to the obverse. All capped bust eagles are rare, and many are found with similar problems as seen on this coin.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,800.
