Coin Collection - US $10 Gold Pieces
The $10 gold piece (Eagle) is the bedrock of U.S. Gold Coins. When the government first devised a list of the different coins for production, the Eagle was chosen as the flagship for the gold coins, and most other gold coins were either fractional or multiple versions of the Eagle. For example, the $2.50 gold piece was known as a Quarter Eagle, and later the $20 became known as the Double Eagle. However, even though it was considered an important coin, none was produced between 1804 and 1838. Many of the dates are downright scarce or rare because so few Eagles were made in some years.
Turban Head $10 gold piece (1795–1804)
The $10 gold piece was the highest-value coin made in the United States until the $20 gold piece (Double Eagle) debuted decades later. The dates in the Turban Head Eagle series are all expensive, four- to five-figure coins. One expensive coin is the 1804 Eagle with a plain 4 in the date (in proof form) — this rare coin was made around 1834 to go in the special presentation sets that included the extremely rare 1804 silver dollars.
Liberty-head $10 gold piece (1838–1907)
Considering the number of decades over which the Liberty-head $10 was made, you may think a date set would be just as impossible to complete as a date set of Liberty-head Half Eagles. Surprisingly, this isn't the case as long as you collect circulated examples of the various dates, because most dates simply do not exist in uncirculated grades. First, you have fewer coins with which to contend, because no Eagles were produced at the Charlotte or Dahlonega mints. Second, the only super-expensive coin in this set is the 1875. There are no mega-rarities and no proof-only issues, so the temptation is there.
Indian-head $10 gold piece (1907–1933)
As part of Theodore Roosevelt's campaign to beautify U.S. coins, he hired the renowned sculptor and artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens to revise the $10 and $20 designs. For the $10 gold piece, Saint-Gaudens borrowed from the design on the then-current cent and portrayed Liberty wearing an Indian headdress. The back of the coin features a striking American eagle perched atop a bundle of arrows. Although Saint-Gaudens is best known for his work on the $20 gold piece (which also happens to be named after him), his Indian-head $10 design is a candidate for the most beautiful U.S. coin ever produced.
