1798/7 Ten Dollar 9x4 Stars, XF45 Details
BD-1 Variety

1798/7 $10 9x4 Stars -- Repaired, Cleaned -- ANACS. XF45 Details. BD-1, High R.4. 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."
