- Simply put, one would be hard pressed to find a more technically sound, aesthetically pleasing Heraldic Eagle $10 at the assigned grade level than this premium PCGS/CAC/CMQ example. Handsome medium honey color blankets surfaces that also exhibit tinges of pale olive. Traces of luster are most pronounced in the open field areas, and they are readily appreciable under a light. The design elements are boldly to sharply defined over the focal features, and the overall appearance is exceptionally smooth for a lightly circulated pre-1834 U.S. Mint gold coin. BD Die State a/a.<p>The reported mintage of eagles for calendar year 1801 is 44,344 pieces. Through the study of die states, however, numismatic scholars have determined that some 1800-dated coins were struck after those of the 1801 BD-1 variety (both share the same reverse). As such, the reported mintage for calendar year 1801 likely includes some coins dated 1800, and possibly also some dated 1799. With 600 to 800 coins believed extant from an estimated mintage of 30,000 to 40,000 for the variety, 1801 BD-2 is actually the most available early eagle die marriage, making it a perennial favorite with gold type collectors. The present example, with coveted CAC and CMQ approval, is among the very finest at the Choice AU available to today's discerning gold collectors.
