by Q. David Bowers (Author), Douglas Winter (Foreword by)

The $10 gold eagle coin, named for the national bird depicted on its reverse, was first struck in 1795 as part of America's foundation for a federal monetary system. These coins circulated in international trade and large-scale transactions, and were often melted for their intrinsic gold value. Today, gold eagles captivate collectors with their artistry, rarity, and storied history--from the California Gold Rush to the 1933 "bank holiday," and from shipwreck recoveries to the cabinets of kings.

In A Guide Book of Gold Eagle Coins, award-winning numismatic historian Q. David Bowers provides a richly detailed narrative of this important denomination. With a foreword by gold specialist Douglas Winter, the book explores the political, social, and economic backdrop of the $10 gold eagle, as well as its enduring place in American numismatics.

The second edition features updated pricing, population data, and auction records; comprehensive coverage of every date and mintmark from 1795 to 1933; recommended collecting grades; guidance for smart buying; and hundreds of full-color images that bring these remarkable coins to life.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of America's historic gold coins with A Guide Book of Gold Eagle Coins, part of Whitman's acclaimed Red Book Series. This trusted series spans nearly 30 volumes, each delivering in-depth coverage of specific U.S. coin types and programs featured in the Official Red Book.
