1801 Capped Bust Ten, AU55
Popular BD-2 Variety
1801 $10 BD-2, R.2, AU55 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State
c/b. Star 1 is distant from the curl, while star 13 nearly touches
the drapery. This BD-2 example shows a late die state, with
intriguing vertical spines in Liberty's cap and the reverse die
lapped to diminish signs of die clashing. Although the BD-2 variety
is readily available in the current late die state, earlier BD-2
die stages without the cap spines are scarce-to-rare. Substantial
mint luster remains throughout the lightly abraded Choice About
Uncirculated surfaces, featuring sharply struck motifs and
partially reflective fields. There are no adjustment marks present
on the pleasing, greenish-gold surfaces.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 45734, Base PCGS# 8564, Greysheet# 198085)
