1799 MS 65. B. 5-F. A scarce variety that was listed as R.8 and untraced when Breen wrote his monograph on the series over 30 years ago. Identifiable as such by the berry far to the right of the final A in AMERICA.
The variety aside, this is an extraordinarily lovely early gold coin. The luster is radiant with just the faintest trace of reflectivity in the fields. The strike is sharp in almost areas with just the slightest softness on the highpoints of the eagle. There are just a few luster grazes on each side and a couple of very minor marks. On the reverse one notices just the slightest accent of red around the devices. A superlative quality early ten. (PCGS# 98562)

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS63 NGC. Breen-6839, Taraszka-14, BD-2, High R.5. The BD-2 is the only Small Stars Obverse variety that shows star 9 away from the Y in LIBERTY and star 13 away from the bust. Star 1 points toward the bottom of a curl. Two points of star 8 are close to the cap. Stars 1 and 13 are about equally distant from the bust, and the second 9 is a bit further than the other digits are from each other. There is a center dot in the hair behind Liberty's ear. Numismatic researchers believe that the 1799 Large Stars varieties were created after the Small Stars punch broke during the creation of a die, since the Large Stars device is seen on several 1799 variants and carries over to the single 1800 obverse (and variety for the year) and one of the 1801 obverse dies. The reverse of this variety was married successively with four different obverses to create the BD-1 through BD-4 varieties.

On the reverse a berry is centered under A, and a leaf tip touches the I in AMERICA at the center of the base. The first A in AMERICA does not touch the wing feathers, a diagnostic for this die. A die rust lump shows between the U and N. The present example shows clashing of the dentils from the obverse inside the reverse rim from above F through AME. Otherwise both dies appear to be from early die states, with no other visible clashing or cracks. Considerable luster shows on the obverse, a bit less so on the reverse, and both sides are a pretty antique-gold color. No adjustment marks are present save for a few visible under a loupe below OF, and there is some light buildup in the protected areas of each side. The Bass-Dannreuther reference estimates that 35 to 45 pieces are known of this rare variety. While NGC has not attributed this piece, that service has graded 60 coins of the 1799 (all varieties) in MS63, with 49 finer. Both NGC and PCGS have graded several examples of the 1799 Small Stars in MS64, although not necessarily this BD-2 variety. (PCGS# 98562)

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS62 PCGS. Irregular Date, Breen-6840, BD-7, Taraszka-19, R.3. Incorrectly designated by PCGS as a Large Stars Obverse variety. BD-7 is most interesting for its diminished clouds, which were inadvertently reduced in scale by a mint worker, either to remove clash marks or simply to prepare the die for coinage. This luminous example has mildly prooflike luster, and a hint of orange toning on the fields. No adjustment marks are present, and the strike is unusually sharp for this large denomination. Careful evaluation beneath a loupe fails to locate any consequential marks. Early eagles are under formidable demand from gold type set collectors. (PCGS# 98562)

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse--Double Struck with Obverse Rotation--MS62 NGC. Irregular Date, Breen-6840, B. 4-E, Taraszka-19, R.3. A spectacular mint error to find on an Early Eagle, and presumably unique as such. The obverse is double struck, with a counterclockwise spread of a couple of degrees between images. Outlines of the legends, stars, and portrait from the initial strike are nearly intact. Interestingly, the reverse does not display any indication of a second strike. Two competing theories could explain this. One possibility is that the obverse die rotated slightly between strikes while the reverse die was stationary, perhaps because of loose screws holding the obverse die in place. A second possibility is that two planchets were in the coining chamber for the first strike, with the second planchet blocking an impression of the reverse die. Under this theory, the second piece was removed and the present coin was carefully centered and struck a second time.
Regardless of the actual process of its manufacture, this is a formidable Capped Bust Heraldic Eagle. The breast feathers are fully developed, and adjustment marks (as made) are limited to the reverse border near 10 o'clock. The fields deliver semi-prooflike flash, and the only noticeable mark is a short pinscratch behind the cap.

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse AU58 PCGS. Breen-6839, B. 2-A, Taraszka-14, R.6. Very well struck, particularly on the reverse, with appealing yellow-gold color and virtually complete luster. The pimpling effect at the center of the portrait is diagnostic to the variety. A squiggly depression from a fragment on the die connects to the 1 of the date and a series of short peripheral adjustment marks frame approximately half of the reverse. Breen 2-A is a decidedly scarcer die marriage that is recognized by the distance from star 1 to the lowest curl and from star 9 to the Y in LIBERTY. Population: 17 in 58, 43 finer (11/05).

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS62 PCGS. Irregular Date, Breen-6840, B. 4-E, Taraszka-19, R.3. The 7 in the date is high and leans right, while a mint-made die line is found below the right pendant of the T in UNITED. A later die state that shows the vertical die crack through the E in LIBERTY, with the obverse rim crumbling outside star 7 as well as stars 1 and 2. This is a lovely Uncirculated coin with a satiny finish and bright yellow-gold patina. The devices are quite well struck, the fields are bright with a typical number of small abrasions for the grade. As an issue, the 1799 is the most common Eagle of the Capped Bust Right, Heraldic Eagle design. (PCGS# 98562)

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse AU53 PCGS. Breen 6838, B.3-C, Taraszka-17, High R.6. It is generally the popularity of the Capped Bust Right Eagle as a type rather than overall rarity that accounts for strong selling prices of extant 1799 examples. After all, this date (37,449 pieces produced) is the most common of the series along with the 1801. It is believed that all of the 1799 dated Eagles were struck between May 14, 1799 and September 4, 1800. Breen contends that about 2% of the original mintage survive. This lightly circulated example is apricot-gold in color, with slightly darker shadings on the motifs. The design elements are nicely centered on the planchet, and fairly well impressed. The dentilation shows on both sides, though it appears to be stronger along the upper and right borders on both the obverse and reverse. A few small, trivial marks occur on each side, but none are bothersome. Population: 11 in 53, 87 finer (7/04). (PCGS# 98562)

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse AU55 PCGS. Breen-6840, B.4-E, Taraszka-19, R.3. Irregular Date obverse. Bright and lustrous and appealing. We note a minor edge mark on the reverse near the right wing tip, and the dentils are weak on the lower right obverse, apparently as struck by the Mint. The surfaces are very pleasing for the grade, with no distracting adjustment marks or circulation evidence to detract from the coin. Although a common variety, these are always in strong demand by type and date collectors. This is a later die state example with rim breaks in the dentils over stars 7 and 8, and a die crack from the border through E of LIBERTY to the protruding hair curl. (PCGS# 98562)
