Sharp and Lustrous 1797 Heraldic Eagle $10 1797 Capped Bust Right Eagle. Heraldic Eagle. BD-2, Taraszka-8. Rarity-4+. AU-53 (PCGS). OGH--First Generation. Uniform reddish-gold color is complemented by satiny luster in the protected areas of this premium Heraldic Eagle $10. Nicely defined for this variety, with just a touch of softness at the centers and sharp denticles at the edges. The surfaces are free of significant blemishes apart from a minor scuff in the lower left obverse field that is easily forgiven in light of this coin's otherwise premium quality. Bass-Dannreuther 2 is the first of three die marriages that the Mint used to strike 1797 Capped Bust Right eagles of the newly introduced Heraldic Eagle reverse type. It is Style I of this type; the head punch is the familiar Draped Bust motif from Robert Scot's original hub of 1795, but the reverse is from a John Smith Gardner hub with a long thin neck to the eagle. This is the only die variety of this style. The remaining two marriages of the 1797 Heraldic Eagle display reverse eagle punches that, although they are also from Gardner hubs, are characterized by long thick neck (BD-4) and short thin neck (BD-3) eagles. All styles of 1797 $10 are scarce and desirable, especially at the AU level. Provenance: From the Andrew M. Hain Collection. PCGS# 8559. NGC ID: 25ZY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
