1887-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle MS-63 NGC
In 1887, the San Francisco Mint struck a limited run of 817,000 gold ten-dollar pieces, a denomination often referred to as the Liberty Eagle. Today, surviving specimens from this late nineteenth-century era offer a tangible window into the United States' golden age of coinage, especially when preserved in high-grade condition. This particular coin has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63) condition, indicating it has retained much of its original luster and detail over the decades. Struck from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.4838 troy ounces of precious metal. The reverse side features the distinct 'S' mint mark, denoting its origin from the West Coast facility. The design features traditional American imagery, with the obverse displaying the profile of Liberty and the reverse showcasing the heraldic eagle. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the year 1887, the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST', 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', and the denomination 'TEN D.'
