The U.S. Mint produced a variety of gold $10 denominated coins over the last 200+ years, but the most popular are the $10 Gold Liberty (1838-1907), the $10 Gold Indian Head (1907-1933) and the special release 1984 $10 Gold Los Angeles Olympics Commemorative coin.

History of the $10 Liberty

The $10 gold denomination is the only denomination that was issued from the very first year of U.S. gold coin production (1795) all the way through the very last year (1933). The $10 Gold Liberty is the longest running style of the $10 denomination in U.S. Mint history. Produced for a total of 70 years (1838-1907), it is the most popular $10 coin ever minted in the U.S.

When most coin buyers think of a $10 U.S. gold piece, they think of this coin, designed by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The rise of U.S. minted gold coins was most prominent during this period as gold prices had begun to rise and there were new discoveries across the country.

The $10 denomination is special because of how much it was worth in those days. Back then, $10 was a lot of money! Many of these coins weren’t used for day-to-day transactions, but in large bank-to-bank transfers. Fortunately for us, many of these coins ended up in Europe due to the strength of the U.S. dollar as an international currency. When FDR recalled U.S. gold coins in 1933, the vast majority were melted down. Only a small percentage of $10 Liberties survived (5-10%), many of which had been stashed away in bank vaults all over Europe.

History of the $10 Indian

The $10 Indian is considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in the U.S. It represented a dramatic stylistic departure from previous coin designs. These changes were spearheaded by Theodore Roosevelt, who felt our designs were ugly and outdated and did not accurately represent the beauty the U.S. could offer. As a result, Roosevelt selected enigmatic sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to enhance the beauty and stature of our coinage. Saint-Gaudens was quite bold in his designs; sometimes, to the point of impracticality. In fact, many of his designs were never used because they were logistically too difficult and costly to mint at the time. Unfortunately, Saint-Gaudens died before he had a chance to see his coins minted en masse.

The $10 Indian is a shining example of a “renaissance” in U.S. gold coins and is one of the most hotly sought after coins of early U.S. gold collectors. Much the same as the $10 Liberty, many of these coins only survived because they made their way overseas to foreign bank vaults. Only a small number survived the government recall of 1933 (5-10%).

History of the 1984 $10 Los Angeles Olympic Commemorative

The Los Angeles Olympic $10 Gold Commemorative coin has a very interesting pedigree. It was the first $10 gold coin minted since the production of the $10 Indian ended in 1933; it was the first gold commemorative coin issued in over 50 years; and, it was the first gold coin of any kind released by the U.S. mint since the recall, re-launching the production of commemorative coins from the U.S. mint.

Earlier series of commemorative coins were prevalent in the early 1900’s, but were discontinued in 1926. This was an attempt to bring beauty and variety back into U.S. mint designs after a very mundane 50+ years of coinage. Despite its very low initial mintage of 75,886, the success of this coin (and other commemoratives from this time), helped pave the way for legislation to allow bullion coins to be minted once again. Also worth noting, the U.S. Mint has issued a plethora of modern $5 gold commemoratives, but only a small number of $10 coins. In fact, $10 commemoratives are much scarcer than $5 commemoratives, yet they sell for little to no premium.

Why Now?

Not only is this an exclusive offer to ASI readers, but the timing couldn’t be better. Although the precious metals bull market is still in effect, gold prices have come down a few percentage points from their highs earlier this summer. With many investors/collectors out of town or simply not focused on the market in the summer, and an all-time high stock market, you can come to the conclusion that most buyers are not focused on the precious metals/rare coin market right now. This is exactly the time you want to be a buyer. Premiums on all three of these coins are at 7-year lows, and you can take advantage of that. Take a look at the chart below:  

As you can see, premiums are down across the board. Each one of these coins contains the same amount of pure gold, 0.4838 troy ounces each, for a total of 1.4514 troy ounces. Because there is some numismatic value associated with these coins, you can not only take advantage of gold value as it rises, but you can take advantage of increased premiums from the 7-year low-point as demand increases as well. That’s two ways to profit in each set. All three of these coins have a finite supply, including the modern $10 commemorative. If there is a surge in demand for these coins, it will result in a spike in premium.
