1801 BD-2 Eagle, MS61 CAC
Scarce Early Die State

1801 $10 BD-2, R.2, MS61 NGC. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die state a/a, the scarce early die state before the vertical spines appeared in the cap, and without clash marks. Two die varieties of 1801 eagles are known. BD-1 is elusive, having star 1 close to the curl and star 8 distant from the cap; BD-2 is plentiful, with star 1 distant and star 8 close. BD-2 is usually found in the late die states. This pleasing Mint State eagle has frosty luster and brilliant yellow-gold surfaces with myriad handling marks on each side that are mostly trivial. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC and the overall presentation is quite attractive. CAC: 9 in 61, 29 finer (11/25).
