1857-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle XF-45 NGC
In 1857, the San Francisco Mint struck a limited run of just 26,000 ten-dollar gold coins, representing a fascinating moment in early Western United States minting. These pieces were crafted from 90 percent pure gold, containing 0.4838 troy ounces of precious metal. Today, surviving examples offer a tangible connection to the era, especially when preserved in certified Extremely Fine 45 condition. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty, her hair secured with a coronet bearing her name, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies, with the year 1857 stamped below. The reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings, shielded and clutching an olive branch and arrows. The inscriptions on the reverse read 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the denomination 'TEN D.', with the distinctive 'S' mintmark of the San Francisco facility positioned below the eagle.
