1984 Los Angeles Olympics USA Commemorative Gold $10 Coins
Gold Eagles
The USA is a relatively young country, and its first regular issue of gold coins started in 1795. Although most of them have an eagle as a major part of their design, for some reason the $10 piece acquired the name eagle , and the other sizes as double eagles, half eagles, and quarter eagles. The ten dollar gold pieces are therefore known as eagles or gold eagles.There are also commemorative $10 eagles, first issued in 1984.
Be careful not to confuse them with the modern $50 one ounce gold bullion eagles . Both are called eagles. See also our circulation type gold eagles .
