Breen-6834, Taraszka-8, BD-2, High R.4. The Large Eagle reverse where the eagle has a long, skinny neck, there is a star under the eagle's beak, and stars 3, 9, 10, and 11 on the reverse are nearly in a straight line promptly diagnoses the BD-2 variety. Only this single 1797-dated obverse was used for the three Draped Bust, Large Eagle marriages. The present piece offers rich, highly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces that show a few light ticks and abrasions characteristic of a short spate in circulation. An appealing type coin.
