About the $10 Liberty Gold (Eagle)
The $10 Liberty Head Eagle was minted from 1838 to 1907, designed by Christian Gobrecht. It features the coronet Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The $10 Eagle was one of the largest US gold denominations in regular circulation, used for large transactions and bank reserves.
Each $10 Eagle contains 0.4838 troy ounces of pure gold — nearly half an ounce. The total weight is 16.718 grams at 90% gold and 10% copper. The melt value is the gold content multiplied by the current spot price, shown in the spec table above. At gold prices above $2,600 per ounce, each coin contains over $1,200 worth of gold.
The series was struck at Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Denver. Production was interrupted during the Civil War years, and many early dates are scarce. The 1875 is a famous rarity — only 100 circulation strikes were minted, and fewer than 10 are known to exist. The 1875-CC and 1883-O are also rare.
Common-date $10 Eagles in circulated grades trade at a modest premium over melt, while rare dates can be worth tens of thousands of dollars. The $10 Eagle is a substantial gold coin — nearly half an ounce — and is sought after by both gold investors and collectors. Any $10 Eagle should be checked for date and mintmark before selling.
