Early Eagles
1801 $10 BD-2, R.2, MS61 PCGS. The cataloger's survey of 1439 early eagles from 1795 to 1804 that appeared in the Heritage Permanent Auction Archives included 332 examples of the 1801 BD-2 eagle. The majority of those appearances represent the late die state that has several vertical spines in the Liberty cap. They are not clash marks but the result of some other type of accident, such as a small screw falling into the press as it cycled. The majority of specimens show those spines, and pre-accident examples such as this piece are scarce. Although faint hairlines and other insignificant imperfections limit the grade, this remarkable piece displays mirrored fields and lustrous green-gold surfaces.
