Description
1800 Eagle, Brightly Lustrous MS62
BD-1, The Only Dies
1800 $10 BD-1, High R.3, MS62 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die
State b/c, showing a die crack atop LIBERTY. The Encyclopedia of
U.S. Gold Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth has this to say of
the 1800 eagle:"The 1800 eagle is popular because of its low mintage and because of past comments, by such notables as Walter Breen, who commented in 1988 that this issue was 'Very rare UNC,' and David Akers, who in 1980 called the 1800 eagle '...an underrated date... .' In reality, the 1800 issue is relatively easy to obtain in most circulated grades, thanks to a cluster of coins at the About Uncirculated level. Mint State examples are truly rare and the unusually high number of MS-63 examples reported is likely bloated by resubmissions."
This early eagle exhibits bright mint luster that illuminates straw-gold surfaces. The peripheral elements are slightly incomplete, but strike detail is bold in the centers. There are myriad marks strewn across each side, the most notable of which appear on and just left of the shield. Population: 22 in 62, 15 finer (1/18).
