1800 Capped Bust Right Eagle, Unc Details
BD-1, Only Dies for the Date

1800 $10 BD-1, High R.3 -- Cleaned -- PCGS Genuine. Unc Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c, with a die crack through the top of LIBERTY. According to Mint records, only 5,999 Capped Bust Right eagles were struck in 1800, but die evidence indicates 1800-dated coins continued to be produced in 1801, after the first 1801 obverse die failed. Possibly as many as 12,500 eagles were struck from this single pair of dies during those years. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 200-300 examples in all grades.

This attractive specimen shows no wear on the design elements, which are sharply detailed in most areas, but some weakness shows on the obverse rim from 7 to 9 o'clock. Some planchet adjustment marks on the corresponding area on the reverse may account for this weakness. The lightly marked orange-gold surfaces show traces of original mint luster, despite the noted cleaning.
