Description

Scarce 1800 BD-1 Eagle

1800 $10 PCGS Genuine. Breen-6842, Taraszka-23, BD-1, High R.3. The only die combination of the date, and the reverse die was also used in 1799 and 1801. The 1800 eagle is much scarcer than either 1799 or 1801, although many still describe it as a common issue. The calendar year mintage of eagles in 1800 was 5,999 coins, although it is now almost certain that some of those struck in 1801 were dated 1800. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, the coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been improperly cleaned. This sharply detailed piece retains some of its luster. The green-gold surfaces have splashes of orange toning, while both sides have trivial abrasions.
