This exceptional gold coin was minted in the historic Philadelphia Mint, a testament to the rich heritage of early American numismatics. Featuring the sought-after 13 leaves variety, this magnificent piece draws the admiration of collectors and historians alike. This particular coin is a precious relic of American history, being part of the first series of ten-dollar gold pieces ever produced by the United States. Of the 5583 total struck across both varieties, the 13 leaves variant, while labeled as ‘common,’ belies its true rarity. Experts estimate that only 400 to 500 specimens currently exist in various grades, making this coin a cherished addition to any serious collection. In particular, this Draped Bust Eagle's population is remarkably low, with only 26 coins certified at this grade and merely 129 higher, attesting to its scarcity and value. The 1795 $10 Eagle's design elicits awe; the obverse showcases a portrait of Lady Liberty draped in classical attire, embodying the spirit and dignity of the nascent nation. The reverse features a beautifully detailed small eagle perched amidst a bundle of 13 leaves, symbolizing the original thirteen colonies. This specific coin exhibits subtle color toning, with shades of warm gold, augmenting its visual appeal and historical significance. Notably, this 1795 Draped Bust Eagle represents the premier issue of the denomination, holding a special place in the annals of U.S. coinage. It is the most prevalent among the three Small Eagle designs, appearing significantly more frequently in historical auction records than its 1796 and 1797 counterparts. Despite its relative abundance, the average grades are comparable, with the 1795 variety more accessible in mint state condition. This exquisite piece is among the few that have survived in such immaculate form, likely preserved as treasured gifts or keepsakes from the year of their minting. The allure of this 1795 $10 13 Leaves Draped Bust Eagle extends beyond its commercial value; it is a tangible piece of American history, offering a glimpse into the nation's storied past. For collectors seeking both historical and numismatic excellence, this rare gold coin is an unparalleled treasure, encapsulating the pioneering spirit of early America.
