Listing Information
GovDeals Auction #26959-5506, Ending 11/01/2025 To see full auction details and current bid, CLICK HERE Historic 1803 Draped Bust Gold $10 Small Reverse Stars MS 63 1803 Eagles ($10) are found with either large or small stars on the reverse. In the years following David Akers' writeup in 1980, sufficient interest has developed in the two varieties that they are now recognized by PCGS and NGC, and the respective population reports give a good estimate as to their relative rarity. This is an amazingly high level for any early U.S. coin, especially for a large-size gold coin. This indicates that many were saved by collectors, to whom we give thanks for their prescient thinking. Full struck examples of this variety are non-existent. All come with weak stars, especially on the lower left; the rare example will have strong details on the arrows and the eagle's claw which holds them. The 1803 is perhaps twice as rare as the 1799 or 1801, and it is considerably more difficult to obtain in choice or gem uncirculated condition. See Pics for Details All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, and GovDeals encourages bidders to physically inspect before placing a bid whenever possible.
