Fortune smiled upon this 1801 dollar! This B-2, BB-212 with 12 Arrows is a welcome exception! Some light die clashing is noted around the date which is typical for the variety and is generally considered an intermediate die state. It is estimated 500-900 pieces exist in all grades. Sporting a bold strike, which is most uncommon, as most come with soft strikes at the centers of the obverse and reverse. The surfaces are truly lovely. Profuse amounts of mint luster grace unspoiled surfaces which are toned peripherally in vibrant fiery orange and ice blue hues. Some wisps of pearl gray tone is present in the hair detail. No adjustment marks! A couple of light scratches are noted in the left obverse field behind Liberty’s head, and are only evident with strong magnification. PCGS 57, NGC 30, CAC 9. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,000. It’s hard to believe only 9 pieces have received a CAC sticker, but we can see why this coin did. Only four examples have ever sold in auction, with an average APR of $6,162. What a great coin! In the upper echelon of graded examples and worthy of a strong bid. Cert. Number 26616628 PCGS # 006893
