BD-10 is one of only two pairings with large obverse stars. It can be distinguished from the rare BD-9 by the I in AMERICA, which touches a leaf tip on BD-10 but not on BD-9. The present apricot-gold Mint State example displays substantial luster and is well struck. Abrasions are minimal for the designated grade, though we note one thin diagonal line on the left obverse field. Large Obverse Stars Census: 11 in 61, 13 finer (9/22).
