Early Eagles
1801 $10 BD-2, R.2, AU50 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/a. This is the usually encountered variety of 1801 eagle, and, in fact, it is the most plentiful early eagle variety of any year. Obverse Star 1 is distant from the hair curl, and Star 8 is close to the cap. The obverse exhibits vertical die lines in the cap that are typical of nearly all known examples. Faint hairlines are evident in the reflective fields of this pleasing greenish-gold eagle. The surfaces are otherwise free of marks. The 1801 BD-2 eagle is a popular choice for type collections due to its widespread availability.
