1801 $10 MS63 PCGS. Breen-6843, B. 1-A, Taraszka-24, R.5. The B. 1-A can be quickly distinguished from the B. 2-B by the closeness of star 1 to the curl and by the die crack from the base of the portrait between the 0 and 1 in the date to the denticles. Another arcing crack is noticed from the center of the obverse across to star 13 while a third extends down from the L in LIBERTY. Our experience shows that this die marriage is 8-10 times scarcer than the more commonly encountered B. 2-B. This probable Condition Census B. 1-A is strongly detailed in all areas and both sides are draped in attractive reddish patina. The obverse, while showing a bit of scuffiness in the fields, appears to have escaped without adjustment marks while the otherwise better preserved reverse displays a squiggly planchet crack on the left side of the shield and a closely grouped series of adjustment marks across the middle stars. The 1801 is the second most obtainable Heraldic Eagle Ten Dollar in better grades, but the fact that it is the much rarer B. 1-A die pairing should be of considerable interest to specialists in early gold. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
