Cap Head

$10 Gold Piece

The $10 U.S. gold eagle, was the largest face value approved by the 1792 Mint Act. It was intended to be America’s ambassador to the world, and was given the identify “eagle” after the national chicken symbolizing the new republic on the west side of the Atlantic.

The first of the U.S. gold eagles was introduced by Mint Director Henry W. de Saussure to President Washington in Oct 1795. A few weeks prior to the meeting with the president, the $5 half eagle of the identical design was issued. Chief Engraver Robert Scot featured Miss Liberty wearing a turban cap of a style popular with ladies of that era. She faces proper, the phrase LIBERTY above her at 2 o’clock and the date straight below her. The 1795 eagle has 15 stars. After Tennessee earned statehood in 1796, the coin was revised to hold sixteen stars. The reverse shows an eagle with wings outstretched, holding a wreath aloft in its beak. The eagle sits on a palm department, nearly absolutely surrounded by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. These early ten dollar gold pieces are referred to as Capped Bust to Proper Eagles. Many numismatists confer with them as Turban Head Eagles, after the cap style worn by Miss Liberty.

The eagle on the reverse was extensively ridiculed as a weakling bird. Mint officers have been involved about the picture of the United States conveyed oversees by U.S. coinage. A search began to find a more highly effective emblem, one that might engender respect within the Outdated World. The Great Seal of the United States was lastly chosen to grace the reverse. The Nice Seal had been officially sanctioned in 1782 for display on diplomatic paperwork, however now it was to elevate the picture of U.S. gold coinage to at least one suggestive of power and strength. Engraver Scot adapted the Nice Seal to coinage. Basically, Scot copied the Union Shield from the Nice Seal and superimposed it on the breast of an eagle that was not fairly the identical chook as seen on the Great Seal. In the opinion of some, Scot’s modification lacked the majesty of the original. The eagle grasped thirteen arrows and an olive department in its talons and held a E PLURIBUS UNUM scroll (meaning “Out of Many, One”) in its beak. The circumference is nearly fully occupied by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Also, there are thirteen stars above the eagle’s head. A band of clouds varieties an arc spanning from wing to wing.

The design whose reverse relies on the Nice Seal is usually referred to as the massive, or “Heraldic” eagle type. It first appeared on the quarter eagle in 1796, adopted by the eagle and half eagle in 1797 (there are some half eagles with heraldic eagle dated 1795, however numismatic students consider they had been struck in 1797).

U.S. gold eagles of the Heraldic sort continued only till 1804 because of excessive bullion profiteering. The Mint Act of 1792 rigidly set the value of silver to gold at 15 to 1 within the United States. At the time Napoleon of France began his attempted conquest of Europe, the free market bi-metallic ratio in London and Paris rose to 15.5 to 1. Tensions between the United States and Europe eventually pushed the ratio to 16 to 1. Beneath these circumstances, U.S. gold cash were worth more than their face value, if offered in Europe. Here is how the process played out: Speculators purchased gold coinage within the U.S. at a charge of one ounce for 15 ounces of silver, exported it to Europe where it was melted down and sold for sixteen ounces of silver in change for one ounce of gold. The silver returned to the U.S. and the cycle repeated itself.
