Outstanding Near Mint 1801 Eagle

1801 $10 AU58 PCGS. Breen-6843, B. 2-B, Taraszka-25, R.3. An impressive straw-gold example. No relevant marks can be located, even when viewed beneath a loupe, and the eye appeal is substantial. The strike is bold throughout, including on the eagle's breast feathers, which are generally sharp. Slight friction on the cap and drapery denies a Mint State designation. Although the location of the first star relative to the curl is distinctive for Breen 2-B, the variety can also be identified by a series of prominent mint-made spikes within Liberty's cap. At first glance, these appear to be clash marks from the shield on the reverse. However, the width and number of the spikes does not correspond, which indicates further research on their origin is needed.(#8564)(Registry values: P1)
