Description

Scarce 1799 BD-8 Small Stars Eagle, AU55

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse AU55 NGC. BD-8, R.5. This is the scarce Irregular Date variety. Two die marriages exist with the Irregular Date obverse, identified by the 1 far from the curl and the second 9 close to the bust. The reverse has star 13 high above the ribbon on the plentiful BD-7 marriage, and touching the ribbon on the scarce BD-8. John Dannreuther estimates about 45 to 55 examples of this die combination survive, although the actual number is probably somewhat less, perhaps 35 to 40 examples, in our opinion. Attractive green-gold surfaces display nearly full luster, with hints of honey-gold patina around the devices. Scattered marks are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P2)
