<B>1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse--Cleaned, Rim Damage--ANACS. AU55 Details.</B></I> Irregular Date, Small Stars, Breen-6840, Taraszka-20, BD-8, R.5. This scarce variety is attributed by the 17 of the date tilted far right, the 7 higher than the 1, reverse star 12 touching upper beak and also the scroll with two points. John Dannreuther and Harry Bass, in their book <I>Early U.S. Gold Varieties</B></I>, estimate 45 to 55 examples of this variety to be known. Bright reddish-gold surfaces are lightly hairlined, and the rim damage at 3 o'clock on the obverse is hardly noticeable within the holder. The design elements are well struck, and there is an even distribution of minute marks over the obverse. Overall, the impairments are not all that bad.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><BR><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>)
