Small Obverse Stars, BD-7
Excellent 18th Century Type Coin

1799 $10 Small Obverse Stars, BD-7, R.3, MS62 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State f/d. This is the late die state, with a short, irregular die crack between star 12 and the rim. A pair of overhanging rim cuds perches above stars 7 and 8. Harry Bass called the date irregular, with 1 and 7 leaning far to the right, especially the 7. A network of die cracks connects the obverse stars and run through LIBERTY. This is a frosty Mint State example, with lustrous honey-gold color and pale lilac overtones. The stars and central motifs are crisply defined. We note the reverse is especially attractive and vibrant for this BD-7 variety, with the reverse seen in its second use and in its late die state. The small marks that define the grade are unobtrusive and few in number. Eye appeal easily exceeds the coin's numeric grade.
