Description

1801 BD-2 Ten Dollar, MS61
Well Struck, Ample Luster

1801 $10 BD-2, R.2, MS61 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State "c/c." The usually encountered die state with eight parallel vertical raised lines in Liberty's cap. At first glance, the lines appear to be clash marks from the shield, but they do not correspond to the shield design. Instead, the lines likely represent damage to the reverse die, similar to the 1804 "Spiked Chin" half cent. Perhaps, a bolt was struck into the reverse die during its service coining the 1801 BD-2.
The honey-gold surfaces are well struck and show substantial luster with only minimal signs of contact. The present Mint State example is an outstanding candidate for an early gold type set.
