The design elements are boldly struck in the centers, with some merging of the denticles noted on both sides. The surfaces are nicely preserved, for the grade, and lack any severe or overly distracting abrasions. Dannreuther-Bass (2006) calls this one of the most seen of all the early gold coins from 1795 to 1834, and notes that the mintage for this die marriage (one of four quarter eagle varieties in 1810) may have been as high as 90,000 pieces.
