12. I think we're confusing different coins here
Edited on Wed Aug-17-11 03:32 AM by Art_from_Ark
$10 eagle-- former circulating US gold coin that had a face value of $10 and gold content of .48375 ounce. Minted sporadically from 1795 to 1933, and once again in 1984.

$10 gold eagle-- 1/4 ounce bullion coin that Uncle Sam has been producing since 1986.

1/2 ounce gold eagle-- actually carries a face value of $25 (as if that really means anything), minted since 1986.
