1901 NGC MS-62 $10 Liberty Eagle Gold Coin
Christian Gobrecht, the third Chief Engraver of the US Mint, designed the Liberty Eagle Gold Coins, which served as the official $10 coin circulating in the US from 1838 to 1907 until they were replaced by the Indian Head Gold Coin.
The design showcases Lady Liberty and the Heraldic Eagle, two of the most iconic patriotic symbols on American coins, thus giving the coin its name.

An NGC MS-62 Coin
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) works independently of sovereign mints, evaluating and attributing grades to coins and numismatic items using the Sheldon Grading Scale as a parameter.
MS or Mint State designates a coin in the format of a business circulation coin. Grade 62 suggests that the coin may present marks and hairlines in focal areas but with an acceptable overall appearance.
