Early Eagles
1800 $10 BD-1, High R.3, AU55 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/e, the latest die state of 1800 eagles. The obverse has bold die cracks through the tops of LIBERTY, with branches to the rim over LI, and over the right side of the B. The reverse is a later die state than found on its use for 1801 BD-1 eagles, confirming that this 1800-dated ten was struck in 1801. The 1800 is a popular date marking the turn of a century with an estimated mintage of 8,000 to 10,000 pieces. The calendar-year mintage was 5,999 coins, and a few thousand additional pieces were minted in 1801. Possibly as many as 300 examples survive today. NGC and PCGS have certified a combined 260 examples in all grades. This attractive light yellow example features satin luster with slight high-point rub, primarily visible on the obverse. The obverse has light adjustment marks at the center, and both sides exhibit trivial grade-consistent marks. Census: 26 in 55, 64 finer (11/16).
