1801 $10 -- Reverse Scratched -- NGC Details. AU. BD-2, R.2. The NGC notation must be referring to a pair of parallel hair-thin lines, one of which extends from 1 to 7 o'clock, while the other is from the left shield tip to cloud 5. However, these two lines are perfectly straight, and transition smoothly back and forth from the device to the field. The most likely explanation is the lines were on the planchet prior to the strike. However, the pale straw-gold surfaces suggest that the coin has been cleaned, and we note a faded mark near obverse star 4.(Registry values: P1)
