 1801 Tar.25, Br.2-B (R-3). Large Pointed Stars. About Uncirculated. Frosty mint lustre hugs the edges of the central design motifs, stars and lettering on this very well struck example. Surfaces are a lightly worn, bright yellow gold, lending a very attractive appearance to this Early Gold coin. Careful examination under magnification reveals some trivial rim bruises at 4:00 on the obverse and at 12:15 and 6:00 on the reverse, in addition to evidence of rim filing at 1:00 on the obverse. Here is a good specimen to represent this majestic early American type in a well chosen collection.
