The 1869 Liberty Head $10 Eagle is among the rarest and most visually captivating issues in American numismatics. With only 25 proof strikes originally produced, this coin represents an elite survivor from the Reconstruction-era U.S. Mint, when proof gold was struck in minuscule quantities for collectors and dignitaries.
Obverse: A left-facing bust of Lady Liberty wears a coronet inscribed "LIBERTY," surrounded by 13 stars and the date below. The design by Christian Gobrecht radiates elegance through bold definition and frost-laden devices.
Reverse: A heraldic eagle clutches arrows and an olive branch, a shield emblazoned on its chest, with the legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircling and denomination "TEN D." below. The deeply mirrored fields create stark contrast with the heavily frosted eagle, emblematic of true Deep Cameo quality.
Graded PCGS PR66DCAM, this specimen is an extraordinary representative, one of just a handful surviving at this elite tier. Its fully mirrored fields, razor-sharp strike, and superb preservation position it at the pinnacle of 19th-century proof gold collecting.
