An underappreciated rarity, the 1851 Baldwin $10 is even rarer than the much-celebrated Horseman type of the preceding year. The Garrett Collection did not contain one, nor did Clifford, nor did the collection of private and territorial gold pieces contained in the June 2000 Bowers and Merena sale. Eliasberg's was net graded to VF-30 because of some heavy marks. Most come with soft strikes and are frequently encountered with surface problems. Most of course were melted soon after they were struck.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2011 Chicago ANA Auction, where it realized $109,250.
