Die Crack extends from U on UNITED through wing tip and extends to second T on STATES. Thumbnail value please? Thank you.

I think you will get much better responses if you post a clear full picture of the front and back.

Edited to add. That is the reverse you showed part of BTW. The obverse is the portrait side

Yes, a full photo of each side, please. As-is, it reminds me of ebay offerings with a hole or other damage in the un-shown area.

Also the photo is too of focus. So when looking at the partial reverse shot there is a double scrape I believe to the right of the eagle's head that could possibly be an issue

Is it counterfeit?

A die crack like this generally would not have any effect on the value.

I bid a dollar three fitty, as she sits.

Agree. While very interesting and a good die marker, die cracks on classic gold are fairly common and carries no premium.

This thread is worthless without decent pics. The 1894 gold $10 is a common date and this coin appears to be a high end AU or a low end MS coin based on the numerous contact marks under the eagle's wing. At the current high gold spot prices, it's essentially a bullion coin worth a very small premium over melt value.
