The Design

The obverse is inspired by Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 1907 20-dollar Double Eagle Coin.

It showcases Lady Liberty’s march forward, carrying a torch and an olive branch. The march symbolizes the nation's evolution towards progress, peace, and enlightenment. 

The word “LIBERTY,” the Capitol Building, and the coin’s mintage year complete the artistry.

On the reverse, Miley Busiek designed a family of Bald Eagles, with a female eagle cherishing its hatchling under her wing while the male perches on their nest. 

It also features “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the coin’s description of weight, metal content, and face value, which reads “1/4 OZ. FINE GOLD—10 DOLLARS.”

A PCGS MS-70 First Strike coin

PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) works independently from sovereign mints, appraising and grading coins based on their condition, using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.

PCGS considers “First Strike” coins purchased from the US Mint on the first 30 days of public availability.

MS or Mint State refers to a piece with the same format as a widespread circulation coin that remained uncirculated. Grade 70 is attributed to flawless coins.
