U.S. Gold Coins

$10 Gold Pieces

Lot 1437
1799 $10 Capped Bust. Small obverse stars. Taraszka 19:13-J, Rarity 3, Breen-4E. Sharpness of EF-40 but worn as jewelry and solder removed from edges. Worn as jewelry at some time in the past, with the telltale dark coppery spots around the rim where the mount was removed. A spot hidden in Liberty's hair also appears to have been buffed down. As with all jewelry pieces, the surfaces are not perfect and this coin must be inspected by bidders. Better than most pieces worn as jewelry, and worth a look. Sharply struck and otherwise well preserved.
