History of the 10 US Dollars - American Eagle coin

In the XIXᵉ century, the industrial boom and the influx of metal from American deposits required gold denominations suitable for high-dollar settlements.

As early as 1838, a large series in the .900 denomination was introduced; it would be minted for decades in several workshops in the United States (Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco), ensuring widespread availability for banks, commerce and current payments. Standardization of its weight (~16.718 g) and diameter (~27 mm) consolidated its credibility within a system still backed by gold. At the turn of the XXᵉ century, production was modernized and continued until 1933, driven in particular by workshops in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco; this continuity reflects the coin's importance in American economic life at the time.

The Great Depression and the end of gold circulation put an end to the issue and daily use of the coin, but it retained its patrimonial role: abundant, standardized and recognized, it remained highly sought-after by savers and investors, including in Europe. Today, this monetary past explains its enduring renown and "classic" status in the pre-1933 bullion coin segment .
