10 Dollar Gold Eagles 1795 to 1933

The eagle was a base-unit of denomination issued only for gold coinage by the United States Mint. The eagle was the largest of the four main decimal base-units of denomination used for circulating coinage in the United States. These four main base-units of denomination were the cent, the dime, the dollar, and the eagle. The eagle base-unit of denomination served as the basis of the gold quarter-eagle, the gold half-eagle, the eagle, and the double-eagle coins. The one dollar and three dollar gold coins are part of the Dollar base unit.

The 10 Dollar Gold Eagle coin was minted from 1795 to 1933.

The Capped Bust Half Eagle 5 Gold Dollar coins were minted from 1795 to 1797. This 10 dollar gold coin was designed by the Mints Chief Engraver Robert Scot. Scot's depiction of Liberty on the new coins was a classical design, modeled after a Roman goddess, with hair rearranged and a large cap. The reverse depicted an eagle with widespread wings, perched on a palm branch with a wreath in its beak. Encircling the border is the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. No denomination or statement of value appears. Only about 14,000 coins were made.

The bust on the new eagle was almost identical to the Nike head (Victory) that Saint Gaudens designed for Sherman’s monument in New York’s Central Park.

The reverse’s eagle stands on a bundle of arrows, with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM to the right. Encircling the periphery above the eagle is the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Below is the denomination TEN DOLLARS.
