1859 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle AU-50 NGC
In 1859, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of ten-dollar gold coins, striking a mere 16,013 pieces. Because these coins entered active circulation during a turbulent era in American history, very few have survived to the present day. This particular specimen is certified in About Uncirculated 50 (AU-50) condition, preserving the intricate details of its mid-nineteenth-century craftsmanship. Struck from 0.900 fine gold with a precious metal content of 0.4838 troy ounces, the coin features the classic Liberty design on the obverse, accompanied by the 1859 date. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle along with the denomination, abbreviated as TEN D. As a product of the main Philadelphia facility, this coin carries no mint mark, leaving the fields around the design clean and uncluttered.
