***Auction Highlight*** 1799 Large Stars Draped Bust Gold Eagle $10 Graded ms61 details By SEGS. Up for Auction is a wonderful and scarce Turn of the Century $10 Gold Eagle….Turn of the 18th Century that is. 1799 DRAPED BUST GOLD! Evenly toned in khaki-gold hues with strong luster in the protected areas. The satiny fields offer a faintly proof like complex under certain lighting, while the devices are richly frosted. Several marks on the obverse and the reverse account for the details grade. Of the ten different 1799 die pairs identified by Bass and Dannreuther, only two used the same Large Stars obverse die. The reverse die proved to be resilient as not only was it able to coin an estimated 12,500 to 17,500 eagles in 1799, it was also used to strike the entirety of the 1800 eagle mintage as well as a few thousand eagles in 1801. With only 300 to 400 coins believed extant in all grades (per Dannreuther), the 1799 BD-10 is both a scarce coin and has long been popular with advanced collectors of gold type coins. However, most of these are in circulated grades of AU and EF, making the present Uncirculated specimen a significant opportunity. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
