Stars are arranged with seven to the left and six more to the right. A small eagle has wings that are stretched far above, holding three arrows and an olive branch. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and denomination TEN DOLLARS follow the border above and below. The upper reverse field has the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The obverse design is similar in general appearance to that of the Morgan silver dollar, and both obverse and reverse are attributed to George Morgan.<BR> Vivid ocean-blue toning endows this pristine and gorgeous Superb Gem. Boldly struck, with any incompleteness limited to the wingtips. As of (10/07), PCGS has certified exactly one example each as Brown, Red and Brown, and Red, but the present piece owns the single highest numerical grade, and its eye appeal is unsurpassable.<BR><I>From The Pelican Bay Collection of Pattern Coins.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
