<B>1799<$10> Large Stars Obverse--Cleaned, Scratched--ANACS. XF45 Details.</B></I> Breen-6841, BD-10, Taraszka-22, R.3. A new large stars punch was used for the obverse of this variety. The date is spaced 1 7 9 9, and star 8 is rotated. On the reverse a leaf touches the I in AMERICA at the lower right. The fields are unnaturally bright on each side, indicative of cleaning, and the noted scratches occur on each side of the eagle, in the obverse field before Liberty's face, and on the cap. The cleaning is more distracting than the scratches, however, which are not too deep and distracting, and much pleasing detail remains.
