What is the value of 1908 US 10 dollar gold piece?

Answer 1

1908 eagles ($10 gold coins) were struck in 2 different varieties at 2 different mints.

Check next to the arrowheads on the reverse to see if there's a small letter D or S, and look next to the eagle for the words In God We Trust. Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter. It may be blank or there may be a D or S.
