Early Eagles
1799 $10 Large Obverse Stars, BD-10, R.3 -- Repaired -- PCGS Genuine. XF Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. This is the more-available Large Stars BD-10 variety, with an estimated 300 to 400 survivors in all grades. The exact area of repair is not defined by PCGS, but we suspect it may be at the rim between 1 and 3 o'clock of the obverse and at the corresponding edge of the reverse. Many other opportunities for tooling or repair accompany the myriad small marks that define the XF Details designation. Still, this scarce early eagle makes a brave visual appearance with pleasing medium-gold color and well-defined devices. There are no overt issues to the unaided eye.
