BD-7
1799 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-7, Taraszka-19. Rarity-3. Small Obverse Stars. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC.
Subtle accents of honey-gold glow from the protected areas of this gorgeous CAC-approved example. The complexion is well composed for the assigned grade, with just a few trivial marks visible in the obverse fields. Intensely lustrous and sharply struck from early dies for the variety. Early eagles are perpetually popular among collectors and the 1799 issue is among the most popular in the Capped Bust Right series. The BD-7 is one of the more available varieties of the 10 known for this date and, with an estimated 250 to 350 examples known in all grades, it is the most frequently encountered of the Small Obverse Stars Guide Bookvariety. Harry W. Bass, Jr. owned an impressive five examples of this variety in his collection! Numerous representatives have been mishandled over the years, however, and a premium Brilliant Uncirculated survivor like the present piece is a truly significant offering.
