- Scarce Extra Star 1803 $10 1803 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-5, Taraszka-30. Rarity-4+. Large Reverse Stars, Extra Star. VF-30 (PCGS). A handsomely worn example of this scarce Extra Star variety. The pale sandy-gold complexion is accented by rich shades of orange and magenta toning around the devices on both sides. Well centered and uniformly bold, with evidence of planchet adjustment visible across much of the obverse. A truly delightful piece to examine in-hand. The Extra Star feature has long made the 1803 BD-5 variety one of the most popular in the early eagle series. Examples are scarce by any measure, John Dannreuther (2006) accounting for just 90 to 110 survivors in all grades. Even so, this is the only readily obtainable die marriage of the Large Reverse Stars Guide Book variety of the 1803-dated issue for the only other, BD-6, is a major rarity with no more than 10 examples known. Early gold variety specialists and advanced type collectors alike would be wise to take full advantage of this significant bidding opportunity. Provenance: From the Naples Bay Collection.
