<B>1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse AU53 ICG.</B></I> Breen-6838, Taraszka-17, BD-5, R.6. This die variety may have been produced very briefly, as only a couple of dozen examples are known to survive. That could help to explain the flashy, prooflike reflectivity of the coin, which is readily evident on both sides. A couple of the obverse stars are flat, as are the eagle's left (facing) talons and arrows. Most of the other devices are well struck. Wispy hairlines are noted in the obverse and reverse fields, and a group of pinscratches are located close together in the left obverse field. Highpoint wear seems minimal-to-nonexistent, and there are relatively few scattered abrasions. A bright, attractive lime-green example from the final year of the 18th century.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
