<B>1796 $10 --Damaged, Whizzed--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> Breen-6832, Taraszka-6, BD-1, R.4. The only known die pair. Most of the 4,146 eagles recorded for 1796 were actually dated 1795. During the first two years of gold production, the Philadelphia Mint coined 9,729 coins from six die pairs, five dated 1795. One 1795 die pair, the Nine Leaves variety, is a major rarity, but the others are all of about equal rarity. In other words, each die pair produced just under 2,000 coins on average, implying that the mintage of 1796 eagles was about this same quantity. Both sides of this piece are stippled, with some light smoothing on the central devices. Hints of green and orange are evident on medium yellow surfaces. This piece retains a certain desirability and affordability.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
