About this coin’s value
The 10 Dollars "Plain 4 Gold" (Pattern) contains 0.0516 troy ounces of gold (9.2% fine, 17.5 g gross). Its melt value above is that metal content multiplied by the live spot price — the floor any dealer offer should be judged against. Collector value for better dates, mint marks and grades comes on top of melt, so check before selling scarce coins as bullion.
