1803 Capped Bust Right Eagle. Taraszka-28, HBCC-3197, BD-3. Rarity-4. Small Reverse Stars. AU-55 (PCGS). Bright yellow-gold surfaces with deeper hues in places, as well as olive-gold highlights elsewhere. Somewhat reflective in the protected areas and awash with lively luster. Nicely struck for the type and with no serious marks, this piece&nbsp;probably experienced just a short time in active circulation. A pleasing example of a date that often finds its way into advanced U.S. gold type sets, but certainly made noteworthy by a pedigree that traces the coin to the estate of a former United States president.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This coin is accompanied by a letter dated October 28, 1971 on the letterhead of Colonial Coin & Stamp Co., Cleveland Ohio, and signed by Alan R. Cohen, president of the company. The letter states that Colonial Stamp & Coin sold this coin to Robert Oliver of Cleveland and, more importantly, that the coin was acquired by Colonial Stamp & Coin from the "President Garfield Estate." As follows:<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sold to: Robert Oliver<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cleveland, Ohio<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1 - $10.00 gold coin - 1803 which we purchased from the "President Garfield Estate", - years ago - from his grandson.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distinguishing feature on coin:<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Heavy rim on left, and much thinner rim - on right side.<br /> <br /> (Total
