In 1838, the 3rd Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, Christian Gobrecht, created the design for the Liberty Head Eagle Coin. This $10 gold piece would go on to set a record as the longest-running design in the US Eagle denomination. While the visual appeared on $10, $5, and $2.50 Eagles, the $10 Liberty Eagle had the most extended production period, lasting until 1907. Right now, 1893 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.

Four branches of the United States Mint participated in the production of Liberty Gold Eagles in 1893, with coins struck in the Northeast, the American South, and the American West. The highest volume, by far, came out of the Philadelphia Mint with 1,840,840 coins struck. The San Francisco Mint issued just over 141,000 coins, while New Orleans struck 17,000 coins and Carson City issued 14,000 coins.
Lady Liberty is on the obverse of 1893 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins. This design was created in 1838 and shows the head of Liberty in left-profile relief. She is depicted with a coronet crown on her head and the bust is encircled by 13 stars. The date mark is at the bottom of the coin.
The heraldic eagle of the United States is on the reverse of the 1893 $10 Liberty Eagle Coin. This image was created by Gobrecht as well and shows a front-facing bald eagle with the US national shield. The eagle also clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. Type II coins include a banner above the eagle with the national motto.
