label: Description
content: In 1838, the ten dollar “eagle” denomination was resurrected when the United States received a large influx of gold from the bequest of James Smithson. Smithson’s gold was melted down and struck into coins. Fueled by gold strikes around the nation, the denomination remained in production for decades thereafter.
