Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 11831)

The 1849 10 Dollar Gold is part of a series of Pioneer & Territorial Gold coins struck from 1849-1860. The specific variety is Mormon. Struck in Salt Lake City, Utah and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of Gold from a mintage of 46 struck and has a rarity rating of 7.
Long considered one of the key issues in the Pioneer Gold series, the 1849-dated Mormon $10s were struck on December 12th and 19th, 1848, making them the first coins made using native California gold. Eleven examples have been traced, six of which are impounded in museums. Another five have been authenticated by third party grading services, with the two finest specimens grading AU, and the others ranging from Fine to XF. It is believed that only 46 examples were struck. As a rule, they tend to be somewhat softly struck – particularly on the reverse, showing little or no detail on the exposed thumb, and some amount of weakness in the date.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value.
