1798/7 $10 9x4 Stars MS63 NGC. B. 1-A, Taraszka-9, R.4. One of the premier rarities in the series of Heraldic Eagle tens, as might be expected from its mintage of just 900 coins. Breen estimates that perhaps only 18-20 pieces survive, although we expect the actual count of those extant to be as high as 25-30 examples. Of that tiny number of survivors, three are known to be damaged, six are thought to be in Mint State (most impounded in museums or tucked away in major, old-time collections), and the remainder are in the VF to AU grade range.

The obverse of this extraordinary Mint State example is sharply struck throughout with subdued, satin-like luster. A diagnostic die crack from the edge at 12 o'clock extends downward through the cap and into Liberty's hair. The reverse, on the other hand, is certainly not subdued but rather quite bright. The eagle's wings are well brought up but definition over the shield is lacking, as usual. Of great importance to the serious collector of this historic early series and the single finest example certified by either service. Population: 1 in 63, 0 finer (4/03).

1798/7 $10 9x4 Stars MS61 PCGS. B. 1-A, Taraszka-9, R.4. The eagles of 1798 are seldom offered in any grade at public auction, and we are very pleased to be able to offer two Mint State 9x4 Stars and one of the very rare 7x6 Star variants in this sale. Breen estimates that perhaps only 18-20 pieces are known of this issue out of an original mintage of 900 coins. Of that tiny number of survivors three are known to be mutilated, six are in Mint State, and the remainder are in the VF to AU grade range. This is a lovely example that shows the usual bright green-gold coloration common to early tens. The obverse has a number of very shallow, horizontal adjustment marks. Because they are so shallow they at first appear to be roller marks, but since they cover most of that side, are present on both the devices as well as in the fields, and they are not exactly parallel, they can only be adjustment marks. Needless to say, they do little to detract from the coin's overall attractiveness because they are so slightly impressed into the coin's surface; nevertheless, we feel compelled to mention them for accuracy's sake. Slightly soft in the center of each side, both obverse and reverse are well impressed elsewhere, and there are no obvious or distracting marks that one could easily use as pedigree identifiers. Population: 3 in 61, 0 finer (10/03). (PCGS# 8560)

1798/7 9x4 Stars MS 62 NGC. A very rare early ten that is seldom offered by anyone in any grade. Breen estimates that perhaps only 18-20 pieces are known out of the original mintage of 900 coins. Of that tiny number of survivors three are known to be mutilated, 6 are in mint state, and the remainder are in the VF to AU grade range. The obverse and reverse of this piece present a study in contrasts. The obverse is sharply struck throughout with subdued, satin-like luster. The reverse, on the other hand, is certainly not subdued but rather quite bright. The eagle's wings are well brought up but definition over the shield is lacking, as usual.

1798/7 $10 9x4 Stars AU50 NGC. Breen-6836, B. 1-A, Taraszka-9, R.4. The Mint's production of 1798-dated Eagles, all overdates, was limited to 900 pieces of the 9x4 Stars variety and 842 pieces of the 7x6 Stars variety. Despite the similarity in mintages, the latter variety is considered to be the more elusive of the two. Of course, this takes nothing away from the rarity of the 1798/7 9x4 Stars, as only 80-100 pieces are believed to survive of the issue. Offered here is a lightly circulated representative that exhibits strong detail and much remaining luster beneath a coating of reddish patina. A wispy die crack at 12 o'clock on obverse advances through the L in LIBERTY toward the center of the portrait. Another microscopic crack through the R has not fully developed. Faint adjustment marks are also seen along the right obverse edge. In what is undoubtedly a landmark offering of early Tens, this challenging 1798/7 9x4 Stars Eagle should not be overlooked. Population: 1 in 50, 2 finer (11/04).

Despite the similarity in mintages, the latter variety is the more elusive of the two, being rated a High R.6 by Breen in his 1967 book on early Eagles. Of course, this takes nothing away from the rarity of the 1798/7 9x4 Stars, as this variety is more difficult to locate than most issues of this Capped Bust Right type save for the 1797 Small Eagle. Offered here is a flashy, solidly graded example that comes boldly defined in nearly all areas. A paper thin mark runs from obverse border below the 8 in the date to a point just below the tip of the bust and a horizontal mark on Liberty's neck could easily be Mint-caused. One of the more exciting early Eagles we have put up for auction in quite a while. Population: 8 in 55, 7 finer (10/02). (PCGS# 8560)

Of that tiny number of survivors three are known to be mutilated, 6 are in mint state, and the remainder are in the VF to AU grade range. Unlike the 9x4 coin we offered in last year's ANA, this is a well balanced coin that shows good striking details on each side, rich reddish patina surrounding the devices, and moderate wear over the highpoints. The only marks of even the smallest note are a tiny scratch on Liberty's upper lip and a shallow planchet flake in the field just to the right of the same area. (PCGS# 8560)

Despite the similarity in mintages, the latter variety is rarer in all grades, being rated a High R.6 by Breen in his 1967 book on early Eagles. Of course, the 9x4 Stars representative that we are offering here is anything but common, and this variety is more difficult to locate than most issues of this Capped Bust Right type save for the 1797 Small Eagle. An aesthetically pleasing, green-gold specimen, both sides display a well centered strike with bold definition in virtually all areas. The surfaces are somewhat scuffy from circulation, but considerable satin luster adheres to most features. A definite highlight of the early Eagles in this sale.

PCGS 1798/7 9x4 Stars AU 50. A very rare early ten that is seldom offered by anyone in any grade. Breen estimates that perhaps only 18-20 pieces are known out of the original mintage of 900 coins. Of that tiny number of survivors three are known to be mutilated, 6 are in mint state (!), and the remainder are in the VF to AU grade range. This is certainly a pleasing coin for the grade. The obverse shows a few small abrasions, but the reverse is virtually free from contact marks. The strike is very strong with well defined hair curls on Liberty and good definition on the eagle's wings (but soft on the breast feathers as usual). There is a rich reddish-coppery patina that surrounds the devices on each side, giving the coin a pleasing two-toned effect. Of great importance to the advanced collector. Trends $33,500 (12/14).

Somewhat bright from an old cleaning, this example displays rich golden coloration and numerous faint die polish lines in the fields. A round area of lavender discoloration appears on the cheek, and several instances of apparent repair may indicate that the piece is ex: jewelry. A few small marks are noted on each side, along with some wispy hairlines. According to Bass-Dannreuther (2006): "Only 80 to 100 examples of this variety are thought to exist, making it merely scarce among early eagles, although the strong overdate and 18th-century date make it immensely popular with collectors."
