Lot 2200
1801 $10 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-60. 44,344 coins minted. This is a dazzling gold specimen full from rim to rim with mint bloom, decently struck and preserved without a serious flaw. Something perhaps worth pausing to study is the fact that all devices were struck with the usual and desirable consistency of this year, that is, sharply by the dies, which then left behind bold elements of detail throughout. Since 1801 eagles tend to be well made, then this is the best year to choose for a gold Type Set between the obvious three candidates:1799, 1801, and 1803.
Estimated Value $24,000 - 26,000.
