Lot 1202		1803. Small Reverse Stars. BD-3, Rarity 4. PCGS graded MS-63. Rich golden toning. Only 15,017 struck, with about 150 to 200 examples estimated to have survived for this variety according to PCGS Pop Report. This is one of the absolute finest for the date and vareity, with none seen finer for the BD-3 isssue. The fields and devices are of top quality, clean and attractive for the grade assigned. These early $10 gold pieces are large and prone to bagmarks, hence the Choice level is rarely encountered today. This condition rarity represents a fantastic opportunity for the astute numismatist to acquire an amazing coin.

Lot 1203		1804. Crosslet 4. PCGS graded MS-61. Lovely rich golden toning. Semi reflective fields. This one has great color and reflective surfaces. There are some shallow adjustment marks down Liberty's face and hair, common to this particular issue. Futthermore there is a short scratch in the left obverse field which is mentioned for pedigree tracing purposes. 1804 is the final year of issue for the $10 eagle until 1838, when the new screw press was developed, a press which was large enough to coin this prodigius gold coin with more precision than the previous screw press used on this coin. Mintages in 1804 were tiny, and survivor rates were tiny. Here is one of the best to come down to us today. Only 3,757 struck, with about 80 to 100 examples estimated to have survived according to PCGS Pop Report. Pop 8; 3 finer, 1 in 62, 1 in 63+, 1 in 64.
