We are pleased to offer a stunning example of early American gold coinage, the 1799 $10 Draped Bust Gold Eagle with Small Stars Obverse, graded AU58 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). This coin represents the pinnacle of artistry and craftsmanship from the early years of the United States Mint.

The Draped Bust design, crafted by Robert Scot, features a portrait of Lady Liberty, her hair elegantly tied with a ribbon, representing the grace and strength of the young nation. The obverse is distinguished by the "Small Stars" variety, where the stars are compactly placed around Liberty’s head, making this coin particularly appealing to collectors.

The 1799 $10 Gold Eagle is a significant coin, being one of the largest denominations struck in gold by the U.S. Mint during the early years. The "Small Stars" variety adds a level of rarity and desirability, as collectors often seek out these early die variations.

This coin is not only a beautiful work of art but also a tangible piece of American history. The $10 Gold Eagle was the highest denomination coin produced by the United States at the time, symbolizing the economic aspirations of the fledgling nation.
