1799 BD-7 Irregular Date Ten, XF45
Small Stars Obverse

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse XF45 PCGS. BD-7, R.3. Irregular Date. Early Die State. This relatively available variety of 1799 eagle, with the Small Stars obverse, is easily distinguished by the far-right-tilted 7 in the date and the second 9 nearly touching the bust bottom. Star 1 is close to the lowest curl and star 13 somewhat distant from the bust. The reverse displays the first S centered over a cloud. This Choice XF coin shows some occasional planchet roughness, as made at the Mint, intermingled with scattered reeding marks and other handling marks on the obverse. A small rim flaw occurs at 11:30 on the reverse.
