The modern $10 commemoratives are three coins from three programs, each issued alongside a silver dollar, and in 2003 also a clad half dollar. The first marked the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Public Law 97-220, signed July 22, 1982, allowed up to two million gold eagles, struck in the .900 gold standard of the old circulating eagles; it was the first gold coin from the Mint since 1933 and the first U.S. coin with the W of the West Point Mint. Surcharges were divided between the U.S. Olympic Committee and the Los Angeles organizing committee.
The second, in 2000, honored the 200th anniversary of the Library of Congress under Public Law 105-268. It was the Mint's first bimetallic coin, a platinum core set in a gold ring. The third, in 2003, belonged to the First Flight Centennial program of Public Law 105-124, with surcharges going to the First Flight Foundation for the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
As with every modern commemorative, the Mint sold the coins itself, in proof and uncirculated finishes, singly and in sets. A 2020 Mayflower 400th Anniversary gold proof with a $10 face value, struck at West Point, appears in Wikipedia's list of 2020 commemoratives and in NGC's census of modern commemoratives; it is not part of this series.
