The $10 Liberty Head Eagle is one of the cornerstones of American numismatics, a series of extraordinary depth and historical range that spans nearly seven decades of US gold coinage from 1838 to 1907 and encompasses some of the most significant events in American history within its arc. Struck in .900 fine gold with a net gold content of nearly half an ounce, Liberty Head Eagles combine substantial precious metal value with the irreplaceable appeal of genuine pre-1933 US gold. This 1881 Liberty Eagle features a Mint State 63+ grade from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Today, 1881 Pre-33 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1881 $10 Liberty Head Eagle from Philadelphia was produced with a substantial mintage of 3,877,220 coins, one of the highest production figures in the entire series and a reflection of the robust gold economy of the Gilded Age, when American commerce and industry were expanding at a pace that demanded generous supplies of gold coinage. The early 1880s were a period of peak production for the Liberty Head Eagle, with Philadelphia striking coins in the millions to serve an economy increasingly confident in the gold standard as the foundation of American prosperity.
All 1881 Pre-33 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins available here are MS63+ specimens. The plus indicates a coin that showcases the finest features for its grade level. MS63+ coins retain an attractive eye appeal with minimal impairments to the luster. Numerous small contact marks are possible, as well as hairlines that present as individual flaws or as a single patch of hairlines.
On the obverse of the 1881 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Eagle, you will find Christian Gobrecht’s stately portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY, a design first introduced in 1838 that set the visual standard for US gold coinage for the better part of a century. Liberty faces left in a composed, classical profile, her hair gathered elegantly beneath the coronet and thirteen stars arranged around the perimeter of the coin representing the original colonies.
The reverse of the 1881 $10 Liberty Eagle Coin features a bold heraldic eagle. The national symbol is rendered with the formal authority appropriate to the highest denomination in regular US gold coinage, bearing a shield at its breast, arrows and olive branch in its talons. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and IN GOD WE TRUST arch above the eagle, with TEN D below. The inclusion of the national motto occurred in 1866, following the Civil War.
