Lot 1192 - 1800 $10 Capped Bust PCGS AU53
1800 $10 Capped Bust. Production fell in 1800, with 5,999 1800 capped bust eagles believed struck. Just a single die variety is known. The obverse die broke early, Breen notes, possibly ending production early.

This is a thoroughly choice and original specimen with only slight wear from circulation. It proudly displays its sharp relief in Liberty's hair and cap, as well as there being strong stars to either side of the bust. Continuing the boldness over to the reverse, the photos show and we are happy to say, the eagle and shield are outstanding for this early Type, with full detail everywhere save for the light wear on the high points appropriately putting the coin in the AU53 grade classification.
