1854-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle AU-55 NGC
The year 1854 marked a significant moment in American numismatic history with the production of the Liberty Head gold eagle at the newly established San Francisco Mint. Bearing the 'S' mintmark, this ten-dollar gold piece represents an early era of Western coinage, struck from 0.4838 troy ounces of pure gold. With a total historical mintage of just 123,826 pieces, surviving specimens in high-grade circulated condition are highly prized by those who study early American gold. The obverse of the coin features a classic profile of Lady Liberty, her hair bound by a band inscribed with the word 'LIBERTY'. Thirteen stars encircle her portrait, representing the original colonies, with the date 1854 positioned at the bottom. On the reverse, a heraldic eagle stands with a shield across its breast, clutching an olive branch and arrows. The eagle is framed by the inscription 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the 'TEN D.' denomination, all guaranteed by the United States Mint.
