Description

1799 BD-10 Ten Dollar, Satiny MS62
Large Obverse Stars
Challenging in Mint State

1799 $10 Large Obverse Stars, BD-10, R.3, MS62 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a, the usual die state, before a radial crack develops through star 6 on the obverse. Although BD-10 is available by early ten dollar standards, the variety is scarce in Mint State, and it is rare finer than the present coin. This piece displays bright butter-gold luster and satiny fields, with impressively well-struck design elements both in the centers and around the borders. Liberty's chin and the obverse field display slender marks that are consistent with the grade. The reverse is surprisingly unabraded save for a horizontal line atop the E in STATES, and blending on the reverse rim at 12 o'clock.
