- Fantastic Choice Mint State 1799 Large Stars Capped Bust Right Eagle 1799 Capped Bust Right Eagle. Taraszka-22, BD-10. Rarity-3. Large Obverse Stars. MS-63 (PCGS). An exceptional example of this important type or date coin, with full mint luster in the fields and solid eye appeal. The surfaces are incredible for an early gold coin of this size, with scarcely more than a few shallow nicks and scuffs, far fewer than commonly seen on these. Fully struck on the tiny stars and eagle's feathers too, as well as the obverse, with no signs of softness. Furthermore the planchet does not have adjustment marks or other problems that so often are seen on these, and detract from the eye appeal. Considering that this rare gold piece was struck in the year George Washington passed away, and before Thomas Jefferson began his eight year term as President puts this into perspective. Handsome greenish-yellow gold throughout, and a towering example for the specialist.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers It would seem to me that the ideal home for this lovely early eagle would be in a type set to illustrate the obverse and reverse motifs. The grade is high and the eye appeal is excellent. PCGS# 8562. PCGS Population: 31; 37 finer (MS-66 finest) in the Large Stars designation.
