1847-O $10 Liberty Gold Eagle XF
Struck in the antebellum South, this 1847 gold ten-dollar piece represents a fascinating era of American coinage. Produced at the New Orleans branch of the United States Mint, this coin contains 0.4838 ounces of pure gold. While the original mintage reached 571,500 pieces, the passage of time has seen a vast number of these coins melted down, leaving only a fraction for modern observers to appreciate. The design, created by Christian Gobrecht, was a staple of American commerce, appearing on coins produced from 1838 to 1907. On the obverse, a left-facing portrait of Liberty is crowned with a hair band bearing her name, encircled by thirteen stars to represent the original colonies. The reverse displays a detailed heraldic eagle protecting a shield on its chest, encircled by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the face value, recorded on the coin as TEN D. This specific issue bears the O mint mark, indicating its historic origin in Louisiana.
