<B>1800 $10 MS60 PCGS.</B></I> Breen-6842, Taraszka-23, BD-1, High R.3. Only one die marriage is known for this date and denomination, an issue that nearly appears as though it were specially prepared--perhaps as the nation's largest coin in 1800, the obverse die was given special care to celebrate the numeric turn of a new century? Stars 1, 8, 9, and 13 are all about equidistant from the hair, cap, Y and bust tip, respectively. The reverse die, a holdover from 1799, was reused for this die pairing, then to strike some 1801 BD-1s, then remated with the 1800 obverse. The present yellow-green piece shows semiprooflike surfaces with moderate field chatter present on each side. There are no singular abrasions, however, and much appeal remains. Certified in an old-style PCGS small-size holder. Population: 3 in 60, 40 finer (12/07).<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>)
