<Our item number 98952><B>1801 $10 Capped Bust. PCGS graded MS-60.</B> A nice bold strike with lovely golden toning. What is most in full view when we examine this coin is its thick, golden mint luster -- it swirls over each side unhindered by anything but the tiniest abrasions and free of even a trace of tarnish or spots. A coin with outward charm that will delight the serious collector of $10 capped bust style gold. What gladdens us most is to see a crisp rather than a imperfect, smooth effect was left by the pressure of the dies that struck this sharp 1801 eagle.<BR><BR>This is the single most affordable $10 capped bust date and variety in the series. The obverse has thirteen stars divided 8 left and 5 right. Star 8 is close to cap and star 13 is very close to tip of bust, almost touching it. Stars 10 through 12 crowded. L of LIBERTY distant from cap. Date large and left with first date numeral close to but not touching lowest curl. Reverse with STATES OF very wide. Three stars touch clouds an d bottommost star on left touches ribbon and very nearly touches beak. First A of AMERICA touches wing at bottom of left bottom serif <B>(PCGS # 8564)</B>. <BR>Estimated Value $24,000-26,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 98952<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098952.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098952N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
