1804 Capped Bust $10 PF64 Cameo NGC

TextHi All, I just thought everyone would enjoy seeing a very special coin we recently purchased for a client. As you can see it's the fabulous 1804 Capped Bust $10 PF64 Cameo. This magnificent rarity was also in a PCGS holder (PR64 5469315). It's beyond words to describe the beauty of this true work of numismatic art. This coin is a very high end specmin for sure. I hope you enjoy this "Mona Lisa" of Proof coinage.

I was offered this coin several months before their client bought it and held it longingly in my hand for what seemed like an eternity. I can vouch for the quality of the coin - it is a stunner! Unfortunately for me, it came down to this piece or the Eliasberg 1884 trade dollar and we all know I'm a soft touch for a nice trade dollar!

So incredible that it looks surreal. Was that part of the King of Siam set? What year was that coin minted? Mid 1830's? How about a large blow up of it so we can use it as wallpaper.

OH MY GOD!
The early ten dollar bust has always been my favorite design, but to see it as a gorgeous proof, OH MY GOD!
Thanks or sharing!!!!

coinace · April 10, 2003 5:27AM

It was minted in 1834 one of 4 coins. It's not from the King Of Siam set, actually this coin is far superior in all aspects to the one in the set. The eye appeal is "out of site" it just gives you shivvers looking at it.

lordmarcovan · April 10, 2003 5:28AM

I'm speechless.

MrEureka · April 10, 2003 5:32AM

Take this as a complement, so nice looking it looks "fake!"

Poseidon · April 10, 2003 8:56AM

Anyone want to venture a guess on how much this coin would cost?

onlyroosies · April 10, 2003 9:07AM

WOW! I have always had a passion for proof gold. That is a one of a kind coin. I would even take that over
rainbowroosies Roosie dime set hands down. I'd even through in colorfulcoins set to boot.

My guess is $750,000-$1,000,000.

TDN, I take it you could have bought it for a little bit less?

In the immortal words of Bob Eucker ......... "Just a little outside"

jbsteven · April 10, 2003 11:21AM

you mean

juuuuuuuust a little outside

joejeweler · April 10, 2003 12:45PM

Hehehe....there was a time when 2.2 "LARGE" might mean $2,200.00

Now it means $2,200,000.00.....OUCH!

Excuse me, er, ah............might you consider a LONG-term layaway on that coin? Perhaps $1,000 per month until my unconcieved, unborn grandkiddies are long dead from old age?

Great.......where do i send the 1st payment!

I would without any regret trade my entire collection for that coin, if given the choice (although that would be a horrible deal for the other guy

)

Yeah, I like the 04's, but...

kranky · April 10, 2003 10:12PM

joejeweler · April 11, 2003 12:18AM

Andy....my middle class status be damned! I make you the same offer on this coin as i did above in another post! (A slighltly extended layaway!

Be careful - he might take you up on that.

After he files out "COPY" on the other side!

ursabear · April 11, 2003 12:22AM

Lovely coins, all!

One of the truly cool things about this community is the ability to see such coins - coins that not only would I never be able to hold in my hands, I would not ever be able to own. Such a thing is a true treat.

jonesy · April 11, 2003 12:59AM

mommy.

topstuf · April 11, 2003 1:03AM

All that money and now the BIG decision.

Rope bezel or diamond cut????

topstuf · April 11, 2003 1:06AM

Incidentally thanks for sharing the photo. It now resides in my file "Fantasy Collection" along with my ....uh.....er..... "regular collection." I may SPEND the regular one now.

MrEureka · April 11, 2003 1:33AM

I make you the same offer on this coin as i did above in another post!

Done deal! Any interest in the rest of the proof set?

topstuf · April 11, 2003 3:14AM

No 65 for that puppy. Just LOOK at the 3rd star. Phooey.
