1800 BD-1 Eagle, Choice AU
About 200 to 300 Pieces Known

1800 $10 BD-1, High R.3, AU55 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c, with a die crack through the top of LIBERTY. A single die pair coined a reported 5,999 1800-dated Draped Bust eagles, although it is certain coins were struck into the year 1801. John Dannreuther suggests as many as 12,500 coins may have been minted from this set of dies. The reverse was eventually paired with an 1801 obverse, and then remated with the 1800 obverse, presumably after the 1801 die failed. This is piece was almost certainly produced in 1800, as it lacks clashing above TAT, which first occurred with the 1801 obverse.

The coin survives in Choice About Uncirculated condition with barely a brush of friction over well-detailed devices. The eagle's neck feathers are particularly strong. Both sides are bright yellow-gold with scattered hairlines and ticks typical of the grade.
