Popular 1801 Ten Dollar AU53

1801 $10 AU53 PCGS. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. The curious variety with thin vertical spikes (as made) within the cap. At first glance, these spikes look like clashmarks from the shield, which is opposite. But such clashmarks would be broad. The origin of the spikes remains unknown.
This impressive gold type coin is partly lustrous and has a generally smooth reverse. The obverse has distributed small marks, none of which deny the eye appeal. The eagle's breast feathers are complete, and all details are sharp with only a hint of friction on Liberty's eyebrow and drapery. A thin, curved line near the reverse rim at 6 o'clock appears to be a mint-made planchet defect. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: P1)
