Lot 1519
1803 $10 Capped Bust. Small reverse stars. ANACS graded EF-45. We note some minor marks on both sides and some light adjustment marks across the obverse; all, lightly toned. An nice array of rich golden hues grace the surfaces of this early Eagle with some luster evident around the devices on both sides. A small area of adjustment is seen at the hair on the obverse, but the present Extremely Fine 45 is still very attractive (PCGS # 8565) .
The Philadelphia Mint struck an estimated 15,017 1803 capped bust eagles from a single obverse die and several different reverse dies. The reverses are known with Small Stars and Large Stars. One variety for the Large Stars has faint traces of a fourteenth star punched into a cloud!
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
