Lot Description

FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION WOW is this a flashy and brilliant early eagle! Both sides have an intense, flashy, and nearly full Prooflike luster on both sides! WOW! Two die pairs were utilized to strike the entire mintage and the BD-2, as here is popular as it is available for collectors. For a 220 year old gold coin, this AU58 has a sensational Mint State look, and in the past would have likely passed as such. The details are crisply rendered on both sides with a full razor sharp impression. Any wear is limited to the faintest trace of microscopic friction, manifesting itself as faint field lines in the fields and on the devices. The surfaces are brilliant yellow-gold and ultra flashy. There are no serious marks or lines of any kind visible marks. anywhere. The eye appeal is very nice. PCGS 69, NGC 101. The most recent examples graded by PCGS were sold in 2019. More recently an NGC AU58 sold in the 2021 ANA auction for $17,400. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $22,500. Worthy of a strong bid and placement in a nice collection of gold type coins or early tens. Good luck. Cert. Number 38287248 PCGS # 8564
