1801 Capped Bust Right Eagle. BD-2, Taraszka-25. Rarity-2. AU Details--Surfaces Smoothed (PCGS).,With bold to sharp central striking detail this coin holds considerable appeal for gold type purposes. Border denticulation is complete from a well centered impression, and peripheral definition is suitably bold apart from isolated softness to some of the obverse stars, the eagles wing tips, and some of the letters in the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Muted honey-gold surfaces exhibit a curious matte-like texture that is not all that dissimilar to that seen on many Sandblast Proof gold coins from the early 20th century -- highly desirable on those specimens yet out of place here to help explain the PCGS qualifier. With early ten-dollar gold eagles scarce as a group, and given that the 1801 BD-2 is one of the more frequently encountered varieties, this more affordable AU is sure to find many willing buyers in todays market.,PCGS# 8564.
