Sometimes the quest for completeness overwhelms the quality available

A great die variety collection of early $10 Eagles, which took considerable time and effort, and many of the varieties are not available in very high grade.

Taraszka also contributed greatly to numismatics, with research on emission sequence, die stages, and reed counts. His research proved that edge reeds were applied during the strike, and not in the Castaing rimming machine as previously thought. He published the first book on early Eagles, United States Ten Dollar Gold Eagles 1795-1804, and much of the research was later incorporated into Dannreuther's book on early gold.
