1868 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle AU-55 NGC
In 1868, the Philadelphia Mint struck a remarkably small number of ten-dollar gold coins, producing a mere 10,630 pieces. Because of this exceptionally low mintage, encountering one of these Liberty Gold Eagles today is a rare treat for those who appreciate nineteenth-century American coinage. This specific coin has been graded in About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55) condition, meaning it still retains much of its original luster and detail from the year 1868. Composed of 90 percent gold, it contains 0.4838 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic Liberty design, with the date 1868 clearly visible beneath her portrait. Because it was struck at the main Philadelphia Mint, the coin bears no mint mark, standing as a direct testament to the post-Civil War era of American coin production.
