- Choice AU 1799 Small Stars $10 1799 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-7, Taraszka-19. Rarity-3. Small Obverse Stars. EF-45 (PCGS). OGH. Tinges of deep honey-gold patina adorn the peripheries of this largely yellow-gold Small Stars example. The fields offer a light reflectivity against the more satiny design elements, showcasing bountiful luster that remains exceptionally undisturbed at this Choice EF grade level. A few minor pinscratches are seen at the lower right and upper left obverse rim under magnification, though the surfaces are left otherwise smooth. This is a handsome piece suitable for type purposes or gold specialists! Early eagles are perpetually popular among collectors and the 1799 issue is among the most popular of early eagle dates. The BD-7 is one of the more available varieties of the 10 known for the issue with an estimated 250-350 examples known in all grades. Harry W. Bass owned an impressive 5 examples of this variety in his collection! Numerous representatives have been mishandled over the years, and a Choice survivor like the present piece is a truly significant offering. PCGS# 8562. NGC ID: 2623.
