1799 BD-10 Eagle, AU58
Large Obverse Stars Type Coin
Substantial Luster Remains

1799 $10 Large Obverse Stars, BD-10, R.3, AU58 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. Perfect dies, as usual. The 1799 BD-10 eagle is one of the most available early tens after the 1801 BD-2. About 300 to 400 examples are thought to exist. This is one of two Large Obverse Stars varieties for the year, sharing a head die with the BD-9 marriage. The reverse, however, shows the leaf tip touching the lower right serif of the I in AMERICA.

Barely a trace of friction appears on either side of this borderline-Uncirculated type coin. Although the obverse stars are slightly soft, the rest of the design is bold, including the portrait and eagle. Substantial remaining mint frost glows from the yellow-gold surfaces.
