Description

1800 BD-1 Ten Dollar, MS62
Late Die State, Struck in 1801

1800 $10 BD-1, High R.3, MS62 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/e, or perhaps later. The reverse die was used in 1799 for BD-10 of that year, in 1800 for early states of 1800 BD-1, in 1801 for the first variety of that year, and also in 1801 for late states of 1800 BD-1, as offered here. This lovely Mint State example has reflective fields on its lemon-yellow surfaces with traces of peripheral rose toning on the obverse. Scattered marks prevent a higher numerical grade. Because only one die marriage is known, this issue has been described as a scarce or rare variety, yet it is frequently available and an excellent choice for a type collection. Population: 22 in 62, 15 finer (6/18).
