Popular 1803 14-Star Eagle, BD-5

1803 $10 Extra Star PCGS Genuine. Breen-6845, Taraszka-30, BD-5, High R.4. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, the coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been Improperly Cleaned. The extra or 14th star is on the top surface of the cloud farthest to the right. Harry Bass discovered the extra star on a coin in his collection that he had acquired in 1966. It seems that no one had ever looked for such a detail in the past. Perhaps 100 examples of this variety exist today. This piece is light yellow with reflective fields that have been polished. The reverse has diagonal adjustment marks across the shield and faintly at other places.
