<B>1804 $10 Crosslet 4--Damaged--NCS. AU50 Details.</B></I> Breen-6847, Taraszka-31, BD-1, High R.4. The Crosslet 4 die marriage is the only pairing for business strikes of the year, as the proof 1804 eagles, for example in the King of Siam and other presentation proof sets, have the Plain 4 obverse, a die that was produced in 1834 or 1835, or both. This makes the present variety the only 1804 eagle widely available to collectors. The obverse of this coin appears to have been subtly bent and straightened, and there is some light scraping on the upper right shield area on the reverse. A die crack passes through stars 1 and 2 and the 180 in the date. Some small patches of die rust are noted, and light adjustment marks appear on Liberty's portrait. This is still a much nicer coin than it sounds from the technical description, with good eye appeal and an original look, if not without some minor distractions.<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>)
