Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 11866)
Like the Pacific Company $5, only four of the firm’s $10 gold pieces have been seen by collectors. Two of these, both of which would probably grade AU, are held by the Smithsonian Institution. Another well-worn example was stolen from the holdings of Willis Dupont in 1967 and has yet to be recovered. The final piece, which has variously been called “Uncirculated”, “AU with prooflike surface”, and “MS63” over the years, is the only collectible example, and was discovered in Cuba in 1903. It was purchased out of a Lyman Low auction by early pioneer gold collector Dewitt Smith, whose collection was sold intact to beer baron Virgil Brand on New Year’s Eve, 1908. It was auctioned as a part of the Brand Collection in 1984, eventually passing into a midwestern collection in 1992, where it resides as of the writing of this book.

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.
