Lot 2057
1797 $10 Capped Bust. Large eagle. . Tar-8. NGC graded AU-58. Toned with a light coppery gold color on both sides, the surfaces retain some luster and the strike is sharp. This would make a nice type coin for the collector as it is a common variety and virtually a new coin. Examination will locate minor handling ticks, but there are no surface problems whatsoever. There are no visible adjustment marks and the devices are very well struck on both the obverse and reverse, including the stars which are frequently weak. We note that the reverse die has been touched up, with the dentils strengthened over the E of STATES, and the second T of STATES has also been touched up, with the post now extending up beyond the crossbar, that or a small die lump has formed in this area.
Estimated Value $9,500 - 11,500.
