<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Traz, post: 1846511, member: 25008&quot;]Yep.&nbsp; MS62, CAC and PCGS Graded.&nbsp; Here is the Heritage description.&nbsp; Hard to believe for such an &#039;accessible&#039; coin and with 13 graded higher, the price was so high. 4 in MS62 CAC, one higher CAC (a 64).</p><p><br /></p><p>CAC. BD-1, High R.3. Sole die pair for the year. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/e, the obverse plainly cracked at LIBERTY and the reverse showing subtle clash marks from obverse dentils that are most obvious atop the first T of STATES. This state of the BD-1 1800 eagle illustrates one of the greatest challenges to determining how many of which coins were struck in the Mint&#039;s earliest years: the obverse die was taken out of service, a number of coins dated 1801 struck, and then returned to service to make more eagles, this MS62 example included.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to the remarriage, the 1800 eagle is, in the aggregate, one of the more accessible early eagle issues, as it is merely scarce rather than rare like most of its peers. Taking die states into account, however, more specifically the split between coins struck in 1800 and those produced in 1801, the two periods when divided create a pair of more challenging and intriguing issues. It is possible that the coins struck in 1801 will be considered their own variety in the future, much as die states for half dollars sometimes are marked with an &quot;a&quot; or &quot;b&quot; suffix.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even should that never come to pass, the 1800 eagle remains a popular issue, particularly in high grades such as MS62. This piece has broad lemon-gold luster with just a hint of green and good interior detail. The reverse shows sizable adjustment marks at the lower eagle and the right-side clouds, but these are as-made and do not influence the technical grade. Wispy flaws in the obverse fields largely account for the grade. Population: 16 in 62, 13 finer (11/13).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
