Lot Description

1800 Capped Bust Right Eagle. Taraszka-23, HBCC-3192, BD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3+. EF-40 (PCGS). OGH. This evenly patinated example exhibits a blend of bright orange-gold and olive-khaki colors to both sides. There are no individually mentionable abrasions despite light scuffiness to the surfaces, and a few faint adjustment marks over the reverse shield are as struck. Generally bold in strike, with the centers actually appearing sharp enough to suggest an AU grade. If one of the Mint State examples that we are offering in this sale is too rich for one's blood, this circulated 1800 eagle&nbsp;represents an attractive alternative that would also do nicely in a type set. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/B4UqB1u64TU" frameborder="0" width="560" height="349"></iframe>
