Introduction of Coins
The mintage of $10 gold eagles at the Philadelphia Mint dropped from over 2.3 million coins in 1882 to only 208,700 in 1883. However, 1883 examples tend to not be worth much more than the more common 1882. Only 40 proof coins were struck in Philadelphia that year, which was actually consistent with the prior two years.Read More
