BD Die State c/b. A vivid and inviting rarity that would do justice to an advanced early gold cabinet. Both sides exhibit iridescent pinkish-rose highlights to a base of warm olive-orange color. Universally boldly defined for the assigned grade, plenty of luster remains in a frosty to semi-reflective finish.<p>This is a median rarity among the 10 known die marriages for the 1799 eagle, John W. Dannreuther (2006) providing an estimate of just 45 to 55 survivors in all grades. BD-8 represents the second of two uses for this obverse die, the most significant diagnostic of which is the rightward leaning of the digits 17 in the date. Interestingly, Dannreuther opines that this variety was struck in between the original press run and remarriage of the 1799 BD-7 variety. The reverse of BD-8 is in its only use, all known examples exhibiting a sharp, jagged die break within the letter C in AMERICA. Scarce in AU for both the type and die variety, the coin offered here will certainly tempt the advanced numismatist.
