1857 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle AU-55 NGC
In 1857, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of ten-dollar gold coins, striking just 16,606 pieces. Because these coins were intended for active commerce, finding one today that has escaped heavy wear is a remarkable discovery. This particular specimen survived the decades in an exceptional state of preservation, graded as About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55). Struck from 90 percent pure gold, this ten-dollar denomination contains 0.4838 troy ounces of precious metal. As a product of the main Philadelphia facility, it bears no mint mark. The design represents a classic era of United States coinage, showcasing the Liberty Gold Eagle series during the mid-nineteenth century, a time when gold coins were the backbone of high-value transactions.
