1801 $10 Turban Head Gold Eagle MS-63 PCGS

---

In the earliest years of American coinage, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of ten dollar gold pieces, including this striking 1801 Turban Head Gold Eagle. With a total mintage of just 44,344 pieces, these early gold coins were struck without mint marks, a standard practice for the Philadelphia facility during this era. This particular specimen has survived the centuries in exceptional condition, certified by professional graders at Mint State 63 (MS-63). The obverse of the coin displays the classic Turban Head design, facing right and dated 1801. On the reverse, a heraldic eagle is depicted, accompanied by the traditional national motto, E PLURIBUS UNUM. Struck from 0.9167 fine gold, this coin contains 0.5157 troy ounces of precious metal, representing a fascinating look into the artistry and monetary standards of the young United States.
