1796 $10 Bust Taraszka-6 NCS AU Details Repaired
<b>1796 &#36;10 Capped Bust. Taraszka-6. NCS graded About Unc Details. Repaired.</b> Just one die variety is known for the 1796 capped bust eagle. The obverse stars total 16, reflecting Tennessee&#39;s admittance as a new state, arranged eight and eight. LIBERTY is positioned higher on the obverse than on the 1795 varieties, starting from the peak of Liberty&#39;s cap &#40;farther left than on the 1795 coin&#41; and ending adjacent her forelocks. The palm branch on the reverse now bears 11 leaves instead of 13 or nine as in 1795. The mintage is 4,146. A pleasing enough coin in spite of its minor touch-up work, with smooth surfaces, only lightly cleaned appearance, and the usual soft detail at Liberty&#39;s hair below the cap. On the other hand, the eagle is extra bold here, as it includes nearly full rounded breast with feather detail and crisp detail in the wings and on the palm branch below. Wide dentils on both sides provide a good frame for the central design.
