Desirable 1801 Heraldic Eagle Ten, BD-2, MS62

1801 $10 MS62 PCGS. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. Late die states of the BD-2 variety are quickly recognized by the vertical spines in the cap, as on this example. There are nine individual spines that cross the cap like a picket fence. These may correspond with the vertical stripes from the shield on the reverse.
This gorgeous eagle is fully lustrous with brilliant honey-gold color. the fields are partially reflective with hints of pale orange toning on each side. The obverse has the usual small number of abrasions, while the reverse is surprisingly unabraded. A sharply detailed piece, this example has full obverse and reverse borders with excellent design details.
Few early American coins are as impressive as a Heraldic Eagle ten dollar piece. Although the BD-2 is always available for a price, it is highly desirable as a gold type coin.(Registry values: P1)
