Ten Dollar Gold Coins or Eagles were made from 1795 to 1933. Several different types were made as follows: --- Capped Bust to Right, Small Eagle from 1795 to 1797 --- Capped Bust to Right, Heraldic Eagle from 1787 to 1804 --- Liberty Head from 1838 to 1907 --- Indian Head from 1907 to1933.
Ten Dollar Gold Coins were made in all the operating mints of the time and many rare and scarce dates exist.
Large Date. Sharply struck with original lustrous surfaces. Dramatic reverse die breaks!
Small Date. Well struck with lustrous surfaces. A scarce date with 18,623 minted and significantly rarer than the Large Date variant.
A pleasing example of this better early New Orleans 'Ten' with solid detail and yellow-gold surfaces that retain remnant luster.
1846/5-O. Sharply struck with lustrous and original yellow-gold surfaces. The standard date has a modest mintage of 81,780 with this Red Book listed variety being even lower.
CAC. Well struck with original lustrous surfaces.
Solid detail and original antique-gold surfaces. A modest mintage of 57,500.
Very well struck with lustrous yellow-gold surfaces. A modest mintage of 176,328.
Well struck with original surfaces that show almost no sign of friction.
One of the rarest 'O' mint 'Tens' with a mintage of 18,000 and a very low survival rate. This is a very attractive example with lustrous surfaces and strong detail.
Lustrous and well-struck orange-gold surfaces. Only light 'rub' prevents a mint-state designation.
Lustrous and well struck. The first year for gold eagles from the San Francisco Mint.
From the first year 'gold eagles' were produced at the San Francisco Mint. This is an attractive example with strong detail and lustrous surfaces.
Very well struck with original and lustrous surfaces. Nearly mint state.
Well detailed and lustrous with original yellow-gold surfaces. Just 16,606 minted.
Scarce in any grade with a mintage of 26,000. This is a well detailed pleasing example with bright yellow-gold surfaces.
Scarce in any grade with a mintage of 26,000. This is a well detailed pleasing example.
Just 15,500 minted with a low survival rate. A string of rare dates came out of the San Francisco Mint in the 1850's thru the late 1870's. All these dates had relatively low mintages plus they saw heavy commercial use, so high grade coins are very rare. PCGS has yet to grade an 1861-S in mint state! This is an attractive Choice AU with strong detail and lustrous surfaces that have fewer marks than typically seen on these early 'S' mint 'Tens'.
CAC. Nice original semi proof-like surfaces with honey-gold luster and just a touch of 'rub'. Just 3,990 minted with fewer than 100 known survivors. This example is tied for the finest graded at PCGS. A single NGC graded MS-60 is the only mint state coin graded by either service.
Well struck yellow-gold surfaces with generous remnant luster. Just 16,500 minted with an estimated 80 survivors in all grades, both certified and raw, according to PCGS. None have graded mint state at either PCGS or NGC.
