I'll have better pictures on Monday; the gold shops here add no premium for numismatics; basically, I pay melt +4-6%.

@IDE...I waiting for you... Thanks for the reply. I'll get some better photos on Monday. Anything alarming jumping out about authenticity? I havent seen any tell tale signs of a counterfeit...

If buying, by these pics. I wouldn't give this coin a second thought. I mean there is no luster, No nothing

Not that this a big deal...but this looks like a 1910-D correct?
Price guide shows 1910-P in MS at a higher price than the 10-D fwiw

Ok... So until I have it in hand... Likely the end of next week... This is probably the best photos I will get. Curious for some more opinions.    |

At least the luster is apparent, but there's a lot still hidden in these images.

I agree.... So I will wait to have it in hand, of course. The gold shops here do not see a numismatic premium. They only sell by weight; is anyone seeing any counterfeit red flags? I looked up a few and haven't seen them, but I am a complete novice.

Looks good to me! Booming luster with good eye appeal. If you hold the coin in hand and it feels like heavy gold, buy it!

Finally had this one in hand today... I don't see evidence of tooling or casting; nice luster in hand; the rim is in three parts as I've read authentic specimens are minted. Weighs 16.71 g My feeling is the coin is an authentic 1910-d $10 gold piece... Anyone see anything I'm missing? Thank you all very much!    |

I think it's real. And MS-63

MS-63. Nice example.  Design wise: I love the design artwork of St Gauden's $20 Double Eagle, but always had some problem with the obverse of the $10 St Gauden's Eagle. Reverse nicely balanced but obverse Indian head off center to one side (unbalanced) I am well aware that others disagree with me. That's OK. |

Nice strike on this one. I think the marks on the face will hold this one to MS-63. Still a nice one.
