I have not received my coins yet given I just placed my order so if anything happens with my delivery time, I may change my ratings. However, I don’t see that happening.

| First minted in 1838, the $10 Liberty gold coin (“Eagle”) represents a significant era in U.S. coinage. The Coinage Act of 1834 redefined the gold-to-silver ratio and stabilized the nation's currency, marking a pivotal shift in American monetary policy and the expansion of the country's gold coinage. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the Eagle’s obverse features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. She is adorned with a coronet inscribed with the word "LIBERTY," her hair tied in the back. Thirteen stars encircle her head, symbolizing the original thirteen colonies, while the minting year is prominently displayed below her portrait. The design exudes a sense of pride and elegance, reflective of the nation's ideals during the mid-19th century. The reverse of the Liberty Eagle shows a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings. The eagle clutches an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left, signifying the country's commitment to peace and readiness for defense. A shield adorns the eagle's chest, and the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arcs around the design, with the denomination "TEN D." positioned below. Struck in 90% gold and 10% copper, the Liberty Eagle has a diameter of 27 mm and a weight of 16.72 grams. Its composition ensures durability and a rich golden hue that has captivated collectors for generations. The coin's substantial gold content also made it a trusted medium of exchange during its circulation, valued both domestically and internationally. The Liberty Eagle saw production at several U.S. mints, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco. This widespread minting contributed to its availability and variety, with each mint mark offering a unique aspect for collectors to explore. Over the years, the coin has witnessed numerous historical events, from the antebellum period through the Civil War and into the early 20th century, making it a tangible connection to America's past. For collectors, a Liberty Eagle in very fine (VF) condition retains significant detail, with only moderate to light wear. The overall appeal of a VF Liberty Eagle lies in its balance of affordability and aesthetic charm. |
