{{/presale}}The $10 Liberty, also called the $10 Coronet type, features a portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse. She is displayed wearing a crown (hence the “Coronet” nickname) with the inscription “LIBERTY” displayed prominently. Thirteen stars (as a reference to the original thirteen American colonies) are engraved towards the periphery. The coin’s date appears at the bottom. This design was first introduced in 1838 and remained in production until 1907. As such, the $10 Liberty ranks among the longest-running coin designs in American numismatic history.
The $10 Liberty reverse depicts an eagle with outstretched wings. The bird clutches both arrows and an olive branch in its talons. This symbolized America’s interest in maintaining peace, as well as its ability to defend itself in war. These 1850-1855 $10 Eagles are “No Motto” specimens, which means they lack the inscription “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the reverse. Shortly after the Civil War, this was placed above the eagle’s head. As these coins are dated before 1866, they will not show this inscription. The denomination is expressed as “TEN D.” and appears towards the bottom.
The $10 Liberty Eagle was one of the most commonly-used coins of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It served as a backbone of American commerce. Until the $20 Double Eagle was introduced in 1849, the $10 Eagle was the U.S. Mint’s highest denomination. Not only was the coin used by private individuals, but the $10 Eagle was also favored by banks and financial institutions for large transfers. Many governments, including some in Europe and South America, chose the $10 Liberty Eagle for their official sovereign reserves.
These $10 Liberty Eagles were struck during the peak of the California Gold Rush and, as such, carry special historical significance. These 1850s-dated coins are also significantly scarcer than generic $10 Liberty Eagles made during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In essence, the coins being offered here are hundreds of times rarer yet sell for a modest premium over a common date.
Each specimen is also certified by PCGS or NGC as Extremely Fine (XF-40) or better, which means they will show just minor wear.
The coins in this category will have a random year of issue between 1850-1855 depending on our current inventory.
Each coin comes sealed in a plastic holder, labeled with the coin’s specs and PCGS/NGC grade.
