1799 $10 Capped Bust. Small obverse stars. PCGS graded AU-58 Taraszka-19. Well struck with nice light golden toning. A very tiny dig by the U of UNITED and another, smaller ding above B in LIBERTY and another on the cheek, these being the only two perceptible marks on an otherwise smooth surface. Desirable with this precision strike, all stars are full, as are the cap and Liberty's hair waves. Lustrous fields and devices.

This obverse die has an unusual date layout dubbed the Irregular Date by Walter Breen. The distance between the bust and final 9 is much less than the distance between the hair curl and 1. All other 1799 obverse dies have the opposite layout, with the digit 1 much closer. The first two numerals lean far to the right Pop 17; 46 fiiner. (PCGS # 98562) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 24,000.
