The Fairmont Collection is one of the most intriguing caches of American coins, largely consisting of historic Half Eagles, Eagles, and Double Eagles. These coins played a key role in US overseas trade and were stored in foreign bank vaults for decades. Right now, 1879-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1879-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coin in this listing is graded as About Uncirculated 58. An AU58 coin is at the top of the About Uncirculated grading scale and exhibits only trace signs of friction on the highest relief points. It is also possible for AU coins to showcase medium or near-full mint luster. Many AU coins are known as “sliders” because their condition can be such that they are easily confused with Uncirculated coins.
Coins in the Fairmont Collection were circulated for international commerce and later stored in foreign vaults, eventually finding their way back to the US. Rediscovered in the late 2010s, these coins quickly attracted the interest of collectors for their unique history and quality.
The obverse of the 1879-S Liberty Eagle Coin features Lady Liberty’s portrait in left-profile. She wears a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY,” with her hair in a bun, and 13 stars forming an arch above her, with the date below.
On the reverse of 1879-S Liberty Gold Eagles, a heraldic eagle holds the arrows of war and an olive branch of peace, symbolizing the nation’s strength and unity. This Type II design includes the national motto, which was introduced in 1866 and appears on a ribbon above the eagle.
