First released in 1838, the Liberty Gold Eagle was the second of the $10 Half Eagle Coin to be produced by the US Mint. It enjoyed a circulation period of approximately 69 years. Because its mintage preceded the 1933 cessation of gold currency, the Liberty Gold Eagle possesses a 90.0% purity that exceeds most present day coins. Such exceptional composition makes it a valuable bullion piece to not only collectors, but also investors wishing to augment their portfolios. Further enhancing the appeal of this coin is its graded condition of XF (Extremely Fine).

• Actual gold content of 0.4838 troy oz.
• Features .900 fine gold purity.
• Issued by the US Mint with a $10 (USD) face value.
• Features the design of Christian Gobrecht.
• Available in XF (Extremely Fine) condition.
• Individual coins ship in separate plastic sleeves.

The $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coin features the artwork of Christian Gobrecht. Its front is embossed with his neoclassical rendition of Lady Liberty. Gobrecht’s design portrays Lady Liberty in profile, wearing an inscribed crown or coronet in her elaborately styled curls. Surrounding her profile is a border of thirteen stars accompanied by the coin’s mintage year. Art enthusiasts will note that Gobrecht’s design incorporates many of the aesthetics common to Ancient Greco-Roman sculptures such as the shape of her features and arrangement of her hair.

Proudly stamped across the back of the Liberty Eagle is the traditional Heraldic Eagle. This emblem depicts a bald eagle upholding a massive shield along with an olive branch and a set of arrows. It is encircled by the coin’s denomination and year of issue. Please be advised that $10 Coins minted after 1866 feature an additional element directly above the Heraldic Eagle: an unfurling scroll printed with the words, “In God We Trust.” Unfortunately, JM Bullion cannot determine in advance whether this particular detail will be present on your order since distribution is determined by availability at the time of order placement.
