<b>1799 &#36;10 Capped Bust. Large obverse stars. ANACS graded AU Details. Net VF20 Plugged - Whizzed. Tarazska-22.</b> This still nice Eagle from the year 1799 has suffered a few indignities in its 150+ years of existence; would that we could all look as sharp and attractive, though, after this length of time! The coinage authority for &#36;10 Eagles including specified weights and fineness conforms to the half eagle denomination of the period. The large or &#34;heraldic&#34; eagle reverse was used beginning in 1797. All dates from 1795 to 1804 are scarce today. 1799, considered by collectors as the second commonest issue, still had a very low mintage of only 37,449 pieces <b>&#40;PCGS # 8562&#41;</b>
