More About This Collection

$10 Liberty Gold Eagles

The $10 Liberty Head Gold Eagle, also known as the Coronet Head Eagle, was introduced in 1838 and remained in production through 1907. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, this historic American gold coin marked the return of the $10 Eagle denomination after more than three decades without regular production.

As one of the longest-running designs in Pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage, the Liberty Head Eagle spans the California Gold Rush, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the expansion of American commerce. Collectors recognize two major varieties: No Motto (1838–1866) and With Motto (1866–1907).

History of the $10 Liberty Gold Eagle

Production of the original $10 Gold Eagle ended in 1804, as changes in the relative values of gold and silver made larger American gold coins increasingly susceptible to melting and export.

The Coinage Act of 1834 reduced the gold content of U.S. gold coins, helping restore their usefulness in commerce. Four years later, the United States Mint resumed production of the $10 Eagle with a new design by Christian Gobrecht.

The obverse features Liberty facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, with her hair pulled back and thirteen stars surrounding the portrait. The date appears beneath Liberty.

The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, holding arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The denomination TEN D. appears beneath the eagle.

The first-year 1838 Liberty Head Eagle had a mintage of just 7,200 coins, making it an important early issue in the series.

No Motto and With Motto Liberty Gold Eagles

No Motto (1838–1866): The original Liberty Head Eagle was struck without a motto above the eagle on the reverse. These early coins include issues produced during the California Gold Rush and the Civil War, with surviving examples representing important periods in American monetary history.

With Motto (1866–1907): In 1866, the United States Mint added IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll above the eagle. The modified design continued through 1907, when the Liberty Head Eagle was replaced by Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Indian Head Eagle design.

Collecting Certified $10 Liberty Gold Eagles

Collectors of $10 Liberty Gold Eagles often focus on specific dates, mintmarks, historic branch mint issues, and the distinction between No Motto and With Motto varieties.

Coins certified and graded by PCGS, NGC, and CACG, along with CAC-approved examples, provide collectors with professionally evaluated examples of this historic Pre-1933 U.S. gold series. Rarity, preservation, strike quality, and original surfaces all contribute to the numismatic appeal of individual coins.
