Desirable Mint State 1801 Eagle 1801 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-2, Taraszka-25. Rarity-2. MS-61 (PCGS). This endearing Uncirculated example possesses even color in light, vivid golden-olive. Both sides are lustrous with frosty texture to the finish, traces of semi-reflectivity in the fields. Striking detail is bold to sharp throughout, and impressively so in a large size coin from the earliest years of U.S. Mint operations. Ideally centered on the planchet, with only light, wispy handling marks that are minimally distracting in hand. 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. Six to eight hundred BD-2 coins are believed extant from an estimated mintage of 30,000 to 40,000 from this die pairing, making it the most available early eagle variety. Mint State survivors are scarce, however, and 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 attractive MS-61 example to their holdings. The BD b/b attribution represents the typical die state of this variety with the often seen clash marks in Liberty's cap from the vertical stripes in the reverse shield.
