Radiant, Attractive MS61 1801 Eagle, BD-2

1801 $10 MS61 NGC. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. Star 8 is near the cap, star 1 is farther from the lowest curl than on BD-1, and star 13 nearly touches the forward bust tip. On the reverse the eagle's upper beak nearly touches a star point.
This is one of the more commonly available early eagle varieties, although this is an uncommonly attractive specimen. The marks and ticks expected for the grade we would characterize more as field chatter than as mentionable abrasions. Considerable prooflike luster in the protected areas around the stars and lettering indicates that this coin was likely an early strike from fresh dies. Radiant luster emanates from the consistently yellow-gold surfaces, further enhancing the broad eye appeal. An exemplary type coin for the grade, worthy of a fine collection.(Registry values: P1)
