1889-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle MS-63 NGC
This ten-dollar gold piece, minted in 1889 at the San Francisco facility, offers a window into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck with a composition containing 0.4838 troy ounces of pure gold, the coin has survived the decades in an exceptional state of preservation, earning a certified grade of Mint State 63. The obverse side presents the profile of Lady Liberty, her hair bound by a band clearly inscribed with her name. Thirteen stars encircle her portrait, representing the original colonies that formed the nation. On the reverse, a heraldic eagle stands with a protective shield across its chest. The bird is framed by the legend indicating the nation of origin, the United States of America, along with the ten-dollar denomination. The "S" mint mark on this side identifies its origin from the West Coast minting facility, which produced a total of 425,400 of these pieces that year.
