1891-CC PCGS AU-55 $10 Liberty Eagle Gold Coin
The 1891-CC PCGS AU-55 $10 Liberty Eagle Gold Coin hails from one of the most storied mints in American numismatic history — the Carson City Mint. Struck during the heyday of western silver and gold discoveries, this classic $10 Liberty Eagle embodies the craftsmanship and economic optimism of the late 19th century.
Each Liberty Eagle contains .4838 troy ounces of .900 fine gold, combining intrinsic bullion value with enduring historical appeal. The “CC” mint mark identifies production at the Carson City facility, where lower mintages and Old West provenance make CC-marked issues especially desirable among collectors.
This example has been graded AU-55 (About Uncirculated) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), indicating light wear confined to the highest points while retaining strong original luster and excellent eye appeal.

The Design
The obverse presents the timeless Liberty Eagle design by Augustus Saint‑Gaudens, depicting Lady Liberty confidently striding forward with a torch lifted high in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. Rays of sunlight spread outward, symbolizing hope and opportunity. The word “LIBERTY” arcs above her, framed by stars representing the states.
On the reverse, a majestic bald eagle stands poised atop a rising sun horizon, clutching arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Surrounding inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “TEN D.” at the bottom rim, while the “CC” mint mark appears beneath the eagle.
