Early gold type set collectors typically choose an 1801 eagle to represent the Capped Bust Right, Heraldic Eagle ten dollar due to availability relative to other dates in the series, such as the 1800 or 1803 tens. Further pressure is placed on this date by those seeking an example simply for the beauty and historical significance of any early gold issue of our first Mint. And, although it is believed that several hundred examples exist in all grades, demand for this issue always exceeds the supply. This piece has remarkably strong definition, which is especially evident on Liberty's hair curls and the breast feathers of the eagle above the shield. Deep reddish patina surrounds the margins on each side. A lovely and obviously original example. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
