1799 $10 Bust NGC AU58
<Our item number 124598><B>1799 &#36;10 Capped Bust. NGC graded AU-58.</B> T-14. Boldly struck with a hint of light golden toning. Choice for the grade. This example is quite pleasing with good luster and splashes of almost peach-orange patina in a few areas near the rims on each side. No deviation in the sharp relief seen, either, not even in the centers of the coin where weakness can sometimes occur. A coin this handsome has a definite advantage over others in its grade class. <B>Pop 4; 7 finer; 1 in 61; 2 in 62.</B> <BR><BR>This coin embodies a very scarce die marriage, with roughly 15 to 20 examples reported. The obverse die is identified by an often-heavy die crack from the border past the left side of L. This example, however, is from an earlier die state with the crack thin.<BR><BR>The reverse die is identified by a die chip between the centers of U and N, and is common to four different die marriages. A minor design modification occurred in 1799. Reverse dies of 1797 and 1798 had seven vertical stripe s in the shield while those from 1799 had just six vertical stripes. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;19,000 - 20,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 124598<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/124598.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/124598N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/124598N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/124598N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
