PCGS MS-62 1899 $10 Liberty Eagle Gold Coin
From 1838 to 1907, the US Mint produced Liberty Eagle gold coins, which served as the $10 circulation currency in the US in that period.
They contain .4837 oz of actual gold content and feature Christian Gobrecht’s designs on both sides.
In 1899, the US Mint delivered approximately 1,262,000 units in the market, issued only in the Philadelphia Mint.
However, like other Pre-1933 Gold Coins, the $10 Liberty Eagle was severely affected by the Great Depression. Many gold coins were hoarded and melted down because of their content, almost disappearing from the numismatic world.
Today, you can acquire at SD Bullion 1899 $10 Liberty Eagle Gold Coins sealed and certified by PCGS as MS-62 samples.

The reverse design showcases the Hearladic Eagle with the national shield on its chest, arrows and oak branches on its talons, and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” on a banner above the eagle. The word “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the coin’s face value inscribed as “TEN D.” encircle the whole image.
