1843-O NGC AU-53 $10 Liberty Eagle Gold Coin
The US Mint produced the Liberty Head Eagle from 1838 to 1907 for widespread circulation as the official $10 coin of the United States, preceding the Indian Head Gold Eagle.
The coin’s 0.4837 Troy oz of gold content led to a hoard and meltdown during the 1930s crisis, severely reducing the number of samples available in the numismatic market.
Their long mintage, featuring a neoclassical design by Christian Gobrecht, the U.S. Mint’s third Chief Engraver, and their historical role, make them a significant piece of America’s gold coinage legacy.
Those issued in the New Orleans Mint bear the “O” mint mark.
