Book Reference
Designer: John Reich. Weight: 8.75 grams. Composition: .9167 gold, .0833 silver and copper. Diameter: Approximately 25 mm. Edge: Reeded. Mint: Philadelphia.
Key to Collecting: The short-lived Capped Bust to Left type exists in sufficient quantities today that examples can be found without problems. The average grade is higher than for the preceding type, with EF and AU most likely and low Mint State levels (MS-60, MS-62, MS-63) being the rule, not the exception. However, in the overall aspect of the American coin market, such coins are indeed scarce.
Aspects of Striking and Appearance: The striking is usually fairly decent, better than on the preceding type. Check the hair details on the obverse and the star centers. On the reverse, check the eagle, particularly at the shield and lower left. Also check the denticles. Planchet-adjustment marks are sometimes seen, while they are not as prevalent as on earlier types.
