Early State 1800 BD-1 Eagle, AU50

1800 $10 AU50 NGC. BD-1, R.3. Mint records indicate that 5,999 eagles were coined in 1800, but the true mintage of coins dated 1800 was probably closer to 10,000 coins. It is known that some 1800 eagles were coined after the first 1801 variety, as they have a later reverse die state.
This example is from an earlier reverse die state, so it is a "true" 1800 eagle, unlike the later die state pieces that are remarriages coined in 1801. Date collectors who only desire a single example of the date will want one of these earlier struck pieces, while advanced collectors will certainly want to have both an early state piece and a later state piece.
An attractive piece with rich yellow-gold luster, this eagle has a trace of highpoint wear, and a few minor hairlines and abrasions, while retaining excellent aesthetic desirability.(Registry values: P2)
