Lot 2061
1803 $10 Capped Bust. Large reverse stars. . Tar-30. NGC graded AU-50. Delicate gold to copper toning on both the obverse and reverse and well struck for this date. We note one minor rim bump below the 3 in the date, and this should serve to hallmark this coin. Much larger stars than on the other reverse dies of the year, and this creates a minor type variety for the collector. These early eagles are very scarce, most were lost or melted soon after they were struck, and very few have been located today for the many collectors who desire to own a decent example.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,500.
