Lot 1573
1801. . BD-2, T-25, Breen-6843. PCGS graded AU-58+. Well struck, except for stars 1 thru 3, with wonderful lustrous surfaces which are slightly prooflike and all, delicately toned. Only 44,344 struck. Two 1801-dated varieties are known through combination of two obverse and two reverse dies. T-25 is the single most common early ten-dollar gold coin minted from 1795 to 1804, with literally dozens of high quality specimens known today, accounting for their popularity in United States Gold Type Sets and other numismatic situations where a single attractive specimen is all that a collector requires. And attractive this coin is, still lustrous and radiant with largely mellow to warm greenish golden highlights on both sides. All but fully struck, with just a insubstantial touch of weakness at the lowest feathers on the arrows that are being grasped by the eagle. Pop 1 (note the new plus grade) (PCGS # 8564) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
