Sharply Struck 1803 Extra Star Eagle
AU Details, BD-5

1803 $10 Extra Star--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. Breen-6845, Taraszka-30, BD-5, High R.4. Only one obverse was used for all six 1803 ten dollar varieties. The BD-5 reverse features 13 large stars, with a small "extra" star in the last cloud under the F of OF. Also, a leaf points to the left edge of I in AMERICA.
Luster resides in the recessed areas of this yellow-gold AU Details example, and a well executed strike leaves sharp definition on the design elements. Close inspection reveals fine hairlines in the fields, as well as a few hair-thin marks in the lower right obverse field. Not a bad coin, despite the cleaning.
