<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3411404, member: 101855&quot;]According to “Coin Facts” the number of survivors for the 1908 No Motto $10 gold is 3,500 pieces overall with 1,625 in Mint State. It has been my experience that “Coin Facts” numbers tend to be on the low side. With a mintage of 33,500, a survival rate beyond 10% is certainly possible. A lot of these coins were in Europe and other places overseas when the Gold Surrender Order was issued and were saved from the melting pot. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a collector of 18th and 19th century gold coins, I have to chuckle when people call coins like this “rare.” Some of the pieces I have have survivers that run in the low 100s, not thousands. Rarity is relative, by most numismatic standards, this gold eagle is not rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
