Introduction of Coins
Although the Philadelphia Mint struck over 2.3 million $10 gold eagles in 1882, few examples have survived in high grade. While this issue is common through MS63, in MS64 and above it becomes quite rare. Proof examples are even rarer with only 40 pieces struck. Less than half of those are thought to exist today.Read More
