1803 $10 Capped Bust. Large reverse stars. Taraszka 30:18-R, Breen-1E, Rarity 3. EF-40 but cleaned. Still prooflike near the devices, but a coin that has seen some abuse over the years. There is a dull scrape from ED of UNITED to ST of STATES which is hidden by the devices and lettering. A couple of letters on the reverse show pin scratches where verdigris or something similar was carelessly removed. The fields show the usual profusion of tiny handling marks from circulation, and there are a couple of very small rim ticks. Full reeding on the edge and still about an average coin for the grade.
