The United States Mint issued several such coins in the mid-19th century, including notable examples from 1849 in San Francisco, CA. These coins can be classified as collectibles due to their limited mintage and historical significance, making them highly sought after by numismatists. The DT 10 designation refers to a specific denomination in this series.
