This honey-gold early ten has an exacting strike, with incompleteness limited to the northernmost pair of reverse stars. The same area also displays a few faint mint-made adjustment marks, which are otherwise absent. The honey-gold surfaces display substantial luster, and friction is mostly limited to the cloud centers and the highpoints of the portrait. Unusually free from marks, with the sole exception of a thin line in the field near obverse star 2. A popular variety for early gold type collectors, due to its 18th-century date, the year of George Washington's passing. Certified in an old green label holder.<BR><I>From The Chandler Collection.</B></I><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>)
