***Auction Highlight*** 1801 BD-2 Gold Draped Bust Eagle 10 Graded ms63+ By SEGS. Up for auction is a 1801 $10 Capped Bust Right Gold Eagle. BD-2 Variety, Rarity-2. MS-63+ SEGS. Vibrant Orange-yellow coloration with considerable proof like reflectivity in the fields. The devices are cloaked in a rich, frosty texture and offer impressive definition to the central elements. Incredibly attractive for the assigned grade with just a few thin marks in the fields to be noted under scrutiny. 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 pieces for the variety. Mint State survivors are scarce, of course, as the demand for them is great among high quality type collectors and early gold enthusiasts. Strong bids are encouraged for bidders seeking to add this lovely MS-63+ example to their holdings. Tied for 35th finest known. We have included an ms64 example for your comparison, although it is a half grade higher we still feel ours compares favorably. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
