Type 2 Heraldic Eagle

“The 1804 $10 is a major rarity and stands among the most desirable dates in the series.”
Mintage: 2,500 (per John Dannreuther), 80-100 known, NGC POP 6/5
PCGS Collector’s Universe price: $290,000
This is a spectacular coin—a classic rarity of early America and one of the most beautiful coins a collector can possess. Not only is it a great rarity, but it is also an amazing investment instrument, one that has potential for dramatic growth over the years.
Several of the 1804 $10s have issues. Therefore, the judicious numismatist will instantly recognize how special this offering is—and take advantage of an opportunity to acquire this truly rare mint state example.
A recent sale of a finer specimen shows the growth potential of this issue. This example is graded PCGS MS62+ (only 0.5 points finer):
Nov. 2000 $39,100
Jan. 2009 $126,500
July 2022 $216,000
That is a 452% increase over a 22-year period.
And here’s the Eliasberg/Bass, Jr. coin graded MS63+ PCGS (only 1.5 points finer):
Oct. 1982 $35,200
Aug. 2023 $312,000
That’s a 786% increase over a 41-year period.
