Description
1796 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-1, Taraszka-6, the only known dies. Rarity-4. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
A highly desirable example of this scarce early type. Bright golden-yellow color yields to warm orange-apricot patina in the protected areas around the design elements, most notably around the peripheries. The surfaces are bright and flashy, boasting considerable reflectivity in both the obverse and reverse field areas. Pleasingly smooth with only a few faint Mint-made adjustment marks on the eagle's breast, a couple of minor planchet voids in the left and lower right obverse field areas (also as made), and a concentration of light handling marks in the upper left reverse field. The strike is impressively sharp throughout with most features fully rendered and crisp. BD Die State c/b.
PCGS# 8554. NGC ID: BFYM.
PCGS Population: 20; 14 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Stickered Population: 4; 1.
Estimate: $110000
