FROM THE GLACIER RAMS COLLECTION Only a single pair of dies was used to strike the entire mintage of 1800 eagles, and there are perhaps 200-300 surviving in all grades. The reverse die was a workhorse, used in 1799, 1800, and 1801. Struck from a very late die state in 1801. There are multiple cracks at LIBERTY and clash marks on the reverse. Illustrating how difficult it is to figure out how many of each DATE were struck, this 1800 obverse die was taken out of service, the reverse mated with an 1801 obverse, and then this 1800 obverse was put back into service with the reverse. So this 1800 was not among the 5,999 struck in the calendar year, 1800. An exceptional quality MS62 with a bold, flashy, and intensely brilliant golden luster that has some semi-reflective Prooflike tendencies. The devices are sharply struck and have a wonderful frost that contrasts nicely against the fields, imparting a modest amount of cameo-like contrast. There are a few minor adjustment marks on the reverse, but these are mint made and have minimal impact on the OUTSTANDING visual quality of this CHOICE early ten. There are NO spots or discolorations, and this coin has NOT been messed with in any way. PCGS 21, NGC 14, CAC 4. This is the only CAC example to ever sell in auction, realizing $79,313 back in the 2014 FUN auction, clearly several bidders were chasing it for its absolutely amazing HIGH END look that is clearly close to MS63 quality. Our consignor bought it from Legend Numismatics more recently for $53,500. Because there are so many messed up pieces out there, the price guides do not accurately reflect the market value for this sensational 1800 eagle. Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 30366857 PCGS # 8563.00
