<Our item number 138967><B>1803 &#36;10 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-62.</B> As usual for this issue, slightly soft on the obverse left stars, bold on the right and fully struck stru the centeers. A beautiful frosty mint example, lightly toned with light mint-made adjustments marks on the reverse. Here is a eye-catching coin for the grade, and a classic early gold rarity. The surfaces are quite choice and damage-free for a gold coin of this date, with smooth-flowing luster covering both sides. Nicely struck by the dies it is also very attractive. Only a few of these early eagles are available for sale in true mint condition &#40;a number are locked in museum collections&#41;, and this one stands out as a solid Mint State 62. <B>Pop 1; 1 finer in 63</B>. <BR><BR>The Philadelphia Mint struck an estimated 15,017 1803 capped bust eagles from a single obverse die and several different reverse dies. The reverses are known with Small Stars and Large Stars. One variety for the Large Stars has faint traces of a fourteen th star punched into a cloud! <BR>Estimated Value &#36;40,000 - 45,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 138967<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/138967.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/138967N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
