What is the value of an 1884 US 10 dollar gold piece?

An 1884 $10 gold piece, also known as an "Eagle," has a gold value based on its weight and purity. The coin contains 0.4807 troy ounces of gold. At the current gold price of approximately $1,650 per troy ounce, the gold value of an 1884 $10 gold piece is around $794.

However, the numismatic value (collector's value) of the coin can exceed its gold value depending on its condition, rarity, and other factors. The condition of the coin is usually graded on a scale, such as the Sheldon scale, which ranges from 1 (poor) to 70 (perfect). Rarer dates and mint marks, as well as exceptional condition, can significantly increase the numismatic value of the coin.

For an accurate appraisal of the coin's value, it is recommended to consult with a professional coin dealer or numismatist who can evaluate the coin's condition, rarity, and market demand to provide an estimated value.
