1847 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle (Cleaned)
The 1847 Liberty Gold Eagle represents a fascinating era of American coinage. Minted in Philadelphia, this ten-dollar gold piece contains 0.4838 troy ounces of gold, struck with a purity of 0.900. While 862,258 of these coins were originally produced, many were melted down over the decades, making surviving specimens highly intriguing to explore. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse of the coin showcases a left-facing portrait of Liberty. Her hair is bound by a band clearly inscribed with the word LIBERTY, and she is encircled by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. Below her portrait, the year 1847 is prominently displayed. The reverse features a bold heraldic eagle with a shield draped across its breast. The eagle holds its wings spread, surrounded by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. At the bottom, the denomination is abbreviated as TEN D. This classic design was a staple of American commerce, minted continuously from 1838 to 1907.
