Fascinating AU Details 1795 Ten Dollar
13 Leaves Reverse, BD-4

1795 $10 13 Leaves--Plugged, Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. Breen-6830, Taraszka-4, BD-4, R.5. Obverse State a, Reverse State b. This piece was holed and then plugged, with a degree of reengraving. The hole was just to the left of the top of Liberty's cap relative to the obverse and close to the U in UNITED on the reverse, and the subsequent reengraving altered some of the usual diagnostics; the U in UNITED has a leaf touching it, for example, but the die chip between OF and AMERICA indicates the reverse for BD-4 or BD-5, which lacks the leaf touching the U.
Otherwise, this is a lightly worn example, faintly abraded with lightly hairlined yellow-gold surfaces. Evidence of a past cleaning is clear, yet this bright piece retains substantial eye appeal. An intriguing and readily collectible survivor from the first year of eagle coinage.(Registry values: P5)
