Lot 1441
1804 $10 Capped Bust. Sharpness of VF-20 but with solder removed from edge and cleaned. As is all too typical of these very rare coins, this one was mounted as jewelry for some time with traces of solder removal on the edge and in the reverse lettering. Furthermore, there are obverse scratches from mishandling, mostly visible with the aid of a glass. Not a beauty contestant winner anymore, this is still a very rare coin and collectible in spite of its problems. Starting to retone from the cleaning with wisps of gold color in the lettering. Inspection mandatory.
