High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). The Eagle is a $10 gold U.S. coin authorized by the Act of April 2, 1792. Struck from 1795 to 1933 (with a production hiatus from 1805 to 1837), seven types were produced by three designers.

Original

A complete typeset of seven Eagle gold $10 coins from 1795 to 1933. The diameter of an eagle coin is 27mm (slightly larger than a currently issued U.S. quarter).

• Support though frankly I'm bored of these now; can't we have some with bullet holes in that have been shot by drunken ex-gunfighters trying to get their eye back in before a big showdown? Belle (talk) 23:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hang in there Belle, not too many more of these gold coins to go. Bullet holes, gunfighters, and showdowns... She's not pretty, but I think the location and signing VP's signature fit the bill...--Godot13 (talk) 00:39, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
