<B>1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS62 PCGS.</B></I> Irregular Date, Breen-6840, BD-7, Taraszka-19, R.3. Incorrectly designated by PCGS as a Large Stars Obverse variety. BD-7 is most interesting for its diminished clouds, which were inadvertently reduced in scale by a mint worker, either to remove clash marks or simply to prepare the die for coinage. This luminous example has mildly prooflike luster, and a hint of orange toning on the fields. No adjustment marks are present, and the strike is unusually sharp for this large denomination. Careful evaluation beneath a loupe fails to locate any consequential marks. Early eagles are under formidable demand from gold type set collectors.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
