| Stack's Bowers | Auction | Spring 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins | Mar-2026 | BD Die State a/a. This is one of the more technically sound, aesthetically pleasing Heraldic Eagle $10s at the assigned grade level that discerning gold collectors will find in the current market. Vivid deep olive-orange color blankets surfaces that also exhibit overlying pinkish-rose iridescence. Ample frosty luster remains with traces of semi-reflective tendencies in the open field areas. The design elements are boldly to sharply defined over the focal features and, while some faint hairlines are noted for accuracy, the overall appearance is uncommonly smooth for a lightly circulated pre-1834 U.S. Mint gold coin. 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. |
