Value of 1933 Indian Head $10 Gold

Most survivors of this key date issue are sharply struck with luster that ranges from above average for the softly frosted examples to excellent for the few satiny pieces. Virtually all known examples are high grade, but even so most display at least a few minor abrasions.
The 1933 Indian Gold Eagle is the final United States ten-dollar gold eagle, and it is the rarest circulation strike in the Indian series in terms of total number of coins extant. Produced as it was just before the government stopped paying out gold coins at face value in April 1933, few examples were released into commercial channels. Virtually the entire mintage remained in federal vaults until destroyed through melting in 1937. Only 35 to 40 examples of the Philadelphia Mint coin have survived and, since most are in the finer Mint State grades, they undoubtedly represent coins that contemporary collectors obtained directly from the Mint or Treasury Department. Most survivors are in Choice to Gem quality. The finest certified are a pair of MS-66s listed at PCGS and NGC.

The text on the Indian Gold Eagle reads as follows. Obverse: LIBERTY; Date. | Reverse: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; E PLURIBUS UNUM; TEN DOLLARS.
