Attractive Mid-Grade 1801 Eagle 1801 Capped Bust Right Eagle. Taraszka-25, BD-2. Rarity-2. VF-25 (PCGS). OGH. Attractive copper-gold on both sides with clean surfaces and smooth wear. There is an ancient scratch on Liberty's neck but it has nearly worn away from moderate circulation. No rim bumps or adjustment marks, and the devices are all clear and well defined.
