Liberty Head eagle.
Liberty Head $10 gold pieces, also sometimes designated as Coronet eagles, were part of American life for nearly three-quarters of a century. True, the average American seldom got to handle gold coins during those years, when $10 might have represented the better part of a week's pay. But these coins were familiar and much admired.
Common-date Liberty $10's have tended to hold their value much better than most U.S. coins. And they have one characteristic that makes them extremely attractive to many collectors, as well as many investors: When gold bullion moves up in value 10 to 20 percent, common-date Lib $10's tend to rise by multiples of that.
The example illustrated here is a rare date, 1848. This is a lovely MS-63 with peerless surfaces.
This remarkable coin is worth over $10,000, putting it out of the price range of most collectors. But don't despair: You can obtain a common-date mint-state coin, still possessing great appeal, for just several hundred dollars.
