Sharp Prooflike 1801 Heraldic Eagle Ten Dollar, MS62 PCGS

1801 $10 MS62 PCGS. Breen-6843, B. 2-B, Taraszka-25, R.3. The mintage figure of 44,344 pieces for this issue includes 15,090 delivered in 1802 from 1801 dated dies. Breen estimates the survival ratio to be about 2%, resulting in between 800 and 1,000 extant specimens, making this issue the commonest of the Heraldic Eagle Ten Dollar type. The current example is an exceptionally bright, yellow-gold coin with prooflike luster on each side. The design elements are almost perfectly centered on the planchet, and are sharply impressed, except for weakness in the stars along the right obverse border. The border dentils are clear on both sides, being a bit stronger and wider on the obverse. The often-seen spine-like clash marks are missing at the center of the obverse attesting to the apparent early die state of this piece. A few lines are scattered about on each side, though none are particularly serious, and no adjustment marks are present.(#8564) (Registry values: P1)
