- 1801 Capped Bust Right Eagle. Taraszka-25, HBCC-3194, BD-2. Rarity-2. MS-63 (PCGS). One of many remarkable early eagles that we are offering in this sale, this 1801 BD-2 is a satiny yellow-gold beauty with lively luster and bold mint frost. The strike is strong, and the eye appeal readily follows suit with surfaces devoid of serious eye catching abrasions. A classic variety often selected for inclusion in high grade U.S. gold type sets owing to the availability of the issue in various Mint State grades. Although this combination is available in the marketplace, in a Mint State level such as this it can still be very challenging to obtain. If you are a connoisseur and are seeking a nice coin for a type set or for a specialized gold collection, your search ends here.<br /> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o3nRGHXqlPY" frameborder="0" width="560" height="349"></iframe>
