Description
GEM WELL STRUCK MIRRORED SURFACES. ONLY A HANDFUL GRADED HIGHER AT PCGS. A FABULOUS SPECIMEN FOR THE TYPE. The 1801 was produced in greater numbers (44,344 pieces) than any other United States Eagle of the 1795-1804 era. Interestingly, examples of this delivery are rarer in today's market than those of the lower-mintage 1799, so it seems that attrition took a substantial toll on this early 19th century issue. The popularity of the 1801 among circulated and Mint State type collectors places strong demand on survivors, with the result that they rarely remain in the open market for long. Like all early U.S. gold issues, the 1801 Eagle is conditionally challenging. Examples are infrequently offered finer than BU and rarely encountered in Gem Mint State.
