1799 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-2, Taraszka-14. Rarity-5+. Small

1799 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-2, Taraszka-14. Rarity-5+. Small Obverse Stars. AU Details--Rim Repaired (PCGS). BD Die State a/b. The 1799 issue is one of the more extensive of the early eagles making it particularly popular for type purposes. The issue is divided into two primary varieties, the Small Obverse Stars and the Large Obverse Stars. Eight die marriages have been identified for the Small Stars variety, and even though there are only two known pairings for the Large Stars, they represent the sizable chunk of the estimated 37,449 pieces struck bearing the 1799 date. The BD-2 pairing is considerably scarcer; the 2006 Bass-Dannreuther reference provides an estimate of just 35 to 45 survivors from an approximate mintage from these dies of 1,500 to 2,000 coins. This is a significant offering of a very scarce die pair. PCGS# 98562. NGC ID: 2625. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
