1795 Small Eagle Ten, Unc Sharpness
BD-1, 13 Leaves, First-Year Issue

1795 $10 13 Leaves, BD-1, High R.3 -- Mount Removed, Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/b. Traces of solder present at the dentils west and below the date to indicate the prior existence of a mount. Additionally, the orange-gold surfaces have a faint brushed appearance. In all other aspects, this is a richly detailed example of BD-1, the first die pair of the ten dollar denomination. There are no consequential marks, and substantial luster remains. BD-1 can be identified at a glance by its repunched Y in LIBERTY. The 1795 BD-1 is the most available of the seven Small Eagle die varieties, but it is nonetheless scarce, with only 225 to 325 estimated survivors. Those pieces are subject to strong demand from early gold type collectors regardless of grade and this example far exceeds its assigned Details designation in terms of eye appeal.
