Just one die variety is known for the 1796 capped bust eagle. The obverse stars total 16, reflecting Tennessee'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's cap (farther left than on the 1795 coin) 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. Even yellow gold with tinges of greenish color throughout. Somewhat reflective in the fields, as seen on the few remaining examples, it retains much of its original bloom off the dies. As you can see from the detailed photos, this coin was sharply struck by the dies. In fact, when was the last time you saw a 1796 eagle that showed the feathers on the eagle's neck and body? Rarely perhaps, which makes this coin special indeed.
