1849 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle AU-55 NGC
In 1849, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 653,618 gold ten-dollar pieces, a denomination commonly known as the Liberty Gold Eagle. This particular specimen has survived the intervening decades in remarkable condition, receiving a grade of About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55) for its exceptional preservation. Struck from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.4838 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features a classic representation of Liberty, her hair bound with a band inscribed with the word LIBERTY, positioned above the 1849 date. The reverse displays an eagle surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TEN D. Struck without a mint mark, this coin represents the early years of the long-running Liberty Gold Eagle series, offering a tangible connection to the American monetary system of the mid-nineteenth century.
