Lot 1005
1795 $10 Capped Bust. 13 leaves below eagle. PCGS graded MS-61. This is a lovely example of this first year of issue. The obverse shows rich orange gold luster throughout, and the surfaces reflect only faint signs of handling. There are some central adjustment marks hidden in Liberty's hair and across her cheek. On the reverse we note minor handling ticks in the fields, and the strike is sharp on the eagle save for his eye, which is slightly weak. An impressive example for the type or date collector who demands mint state quality for their collection. Rarely encountered this nice, and worth a strong bid. PCGS has graded 13 this high, with 40 graded higher in various mint state grades of the 13 leaf variety. In PCGS holder #3629553.
Estimated Value $30,000-UP.
