Challenging 1797 Small Eagle Ten, BD-1

1797 $10 Small Eagle PCGS Genuine. Breen-6833, Taraszka-7, BD-1, R.5. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/b. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been repaired and cleaned. The reverse field has myriad minor marks. The left obverse field is repaired, the right obverse field is whizzed, and the reverse is moderately bright from cleaning. Nonetheless, the Small Eagle 1797 is rare, and examples are desirable regardless of quality. More than half of the breast feathers are present, and luster glimmers from the eagle's wings and Liberty's hair. BD-1 is the only 1797 Small Eagle variety, but the awkward 12x4 obverse star arrangement is also of interest. Stars 1 and 12 crowd the date and cap, while the four right-side stars easily have room for an additional star.
