A brilliantly lustrous Mint State BD-1, the only die variety used to strike 1800 eagles. This early eagle is fresh, well struck and has amazing patinated surfaces with glorious original luster everywhere are semi-Prooflike and flashy. A bold strike brought up every detail on both sides. A coppery-gold color is rich and clings to the recesses of the design elements. The fields show some chatter and contact, which attest to the 61 grade, but the luster and color are better than most. This is a fresh to the market Mint State piece, consigned to us by a dealer who bought this coin from a collector that had it since the 1970s.
