$10 Gold "Capped Bust" Eagle - 1795 to 1804

The early dates for this series have variations in the number and placement of the stars and the leaves below the eagle, the rarest being the 1798. The small "weak" eagle was replaced with a larger, more magestic eagle and shield design in 1797. Many of these coings show scratch marks from the mint's practice of adjusting the weight using a file. No $10 gold coins were produced from 1805 to 1837, at least none have been found.

Designer Robert Scot; weight 17.50 grams; composition: .9167 gold, .0833 silver and copper; approximate diameter 33 mm; reeded edge.
