Premium Brilliant Uncirculated 1801 Eagle Popular BD-2 Die Pairing 1801 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-2, Taraszka-25. Rarity-2. MS-62+ (PCGS). A beautiful Mint State survivor of this classic early gold type, both sides are bathed in vivid golden-orange patina. The finish is noticeably prooflike with semi-reflective fields that further enhance the eye appeal. Isolated peripheral features are a tad blunt, but the strike is generally sharp with most design elements fully rendered. Approaching Choice Mint State quality, this premium example is sure to see spirited bidding among discerning collectors. BD Die State b/b. The reported mintage of eagles for calendar year 1801 is 44,344 pieces. Through the study of die states, however, numismatic scholars have determined that some 1800-dated coins were struck after those of the 1801 BD-1 variety (both share the same reverse). As such, the reported mintage for calendar year 1801 likely includes some coins dated 1800, and possibly also some dated 1799. With 600 to 800 coins believed extant from an estimated mintage of 30,000 to 40,000 pieces for the variety, in fact, the 1801 BD-2 is actually the most plentiful early eagle die marriage. Mint State survivors are scarce, of course, as the demand for them is great among high quality type collectors and early gold enthusiasts. Strong bids are encouraged for bidders seeking to add this lovely example to their holdings. PCGS# 8564. NGC ID: 2627. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
