{{/presale}}The Liberty Head Eagle Coin is a historic $10 gold piece from the US Mint, known for its long-standing design within the Eagle denomination. First introduced in 1838 by Christian Gobrecht, the 3rd Chief Engraver of the US Mint, the Liberty Head design appeared on $10, $5, and $2.50 Eagle coins. The $10 Liberty Eagle had the longest run, remaining in production until 1907. Today, 1897 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at BGASC.
Highlights:
All 1897 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins are in Mint State 63 condition and come encapsulated in protective plastic slabs. Coins at this grade exhibit a few small contact marks and scattered heavy marks, with slightly impaired mint luster. You may also notice hairlines, which can appear either as scattered flaws or in small patches.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1897 Liberty Gold Eagle features a left-profile portrait of Lady Liberty, designed in 1838. She is shown wearing a coronet crown, surrounded by 13 stars, with the year of issue at the bottom of the coin.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 1897 $10 Liberty Eagle displays Christian Gobrecht’s distinctive heraldic eagle design. The eagle is shown front-facing, with the US national shield on its chest. It clutches arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing war and peace. As a Type II coin, it also includes a banner with the national motto above the eagle.
History
In 1897, the Liberty Gold Eagle was produced at three US Mints: Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco. The majority of the coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint, with just over 1 million produced. In contrast, New Orleans minted 42,500 coins, while the San Francisco Mint struck more than 234,000 pieces.
