Description
The $10 gold eagle coin, named for the national bird depicted on its reverse, used to be created in 1795 to be the foundation of The usa’s federal monetary system. Used primarily in international and large-scale transactions-or melted for its gold content-in its own time, as of late the gold eagle entices collectors with its beauty, value, and colorful history, from gold rushes and the 1933 “bank holiday” to sunken treasures and the collections of a king. Writer Q. David Bowers dives deeply into that history in “A Guide Book of Gold Eagle Coins”, providing the political and economic backdrop for the gold eagle’s use all the way through its lifespan. The second one edition also features a wealth of up to the moment information for somebody who collects or appreciates $10 gold eagle coins, including full-color images, estimated surviving populations, really helpful collecting grades, auction records, market values, buying advice, and commentaries on each coin from 1795-1933.
