Early Eagles
1799 $10 Small Obverse Stars, BD-7, R.3, XF45 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c with the obverse dentils crumbled outside stars 1 and 2, and with clash marks on both sides. The obverse die has the irregular date layout that appears on BD-7 and BD-8, and the reverse has star 13 high above the scroll, confirming the BD-7 die marriage. The reverse die previously appeared on BD-6.
The Guide Book has two entries for 1799 eagles labeled Small Obverse Stars and Large Obverse Stars. Eight die varieties are identified for the Small Obverse Stars type with an estimated population of 416 to 564 coins combined, per John W. Dannreuther in Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, A Study of Die States, 1795-1834. In the same reference, Dannreuther estimates a combined population of 314 to 418 coins for the two Large Obverse Stars varieties.
A small obverse rim bruise is noted along with scattered marks on each side that include a concentration of small reverse scuffs on the shield. Both sides have attractive green and harvest-gold surfaces.
