$10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coin (XF)

The $10 Liberty Eagle Coins, minted from 1838 to 1907, hold a significant place in American numismatic history. Comprising 90% gold and 10% copper and weighing 16.72 grams, these coins are favorites among collectors and investors. Highly detailed and realistic, the powerful and majestic portrayal of Lady Liberty and the eagle has stood the test of time. Minted in various locations, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City, the coins were circulated in everyday commerce but phased out in 1933 due to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order.

History

Introduced in 1838 by chief engraver Christian Gobrecht, the Liberty Eagle replaced the earlier $10 Capped Bust design. It became one of the longest-running U.S. coin designs, witnessing changes such as the addition of “In God We Trust” in 1866 and modifications to the eagle’s appearance in 1867 for a more dominant stance. Widely used during the 19th century, especially during the California Gold Rush, the coin saw declining demand in the early 20th century as the United States shifted away from the gold standard. In 1907, the Indian Head Eagle replaced the $10 Liberty Eagle, marking the end of an era.
