The four Proof (PDSW) Eagles and the Business strike W-Mint version are listed as "Gold $5 Dollar". So 5 errors really. The page was last updated 2-1/2 years ago and has never been corrected.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/19/2019 11:38 am Let customer service know. I've reported a few errors that were changed the following Tuesday, which was pretty impressive. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3329 Posts	Posted 07/19/2019 3:54 pm If they're listing PSDW Eagles under 1983-1984, that in itself is an error, correct? I haven't been to the website to look but definitely will at some point - didn't even know they had listings like that.

In this case Eagle is the old term for a $10 gold piece and NOT an American Gold Eagle bullion coin. The Olympics commemorative gold coins were $10 coins and not the more common $5 Half Eagle commemorative gold coins. The Mint's webpage is incorrectly calling these commemorative coins $5 coins and not the $10 coin they actually are. There have been other $10 commemorative coins -- in 2000 (Library of Congress, actually it was gold and platinum) and 2003 (Wright Brothers First Flight Centennial).
