Choice AU 1799 Ten Dollar
Large Stars Obverse, BD-10

1799 $10 Large Stars Obverse AU55 PCGS. Breen-6841, Taraszka-22, BD-10, R.3. The 9 in the date is lightly repunched north, and two points of the eagle's beak touch a star. A partly lustrous Choice AU Heraldic Eagle ten that boasts a penetrating strike and smooth surfaces. The highpoints of the devices show a hint of wear, but the designs remain sharp. Only a hair-thin horizontal line above the ear and a subtle rim ding on the reverse at 4 o'clock are remotely worthy of passing mention. Early eagles with 18th century dates rank among the most impressive U.S. type coins, and since most of the mintage was melted, the few problem-free and attractive pieces that remain are enormously popular.
