Additional Description: Struck in 1901 at the Philadelphia Mint, this Liberty Head Ten Dollar Gold Eagle exemplifies the enduring artistry and refined design of one of the United States’ most iconic gold coin series. The obverse features the familiar portrait of Lady Liberty, her hair elegantly coiled beneath a coronet inscribed with “Liberty,” while the reverse displays the heraldic eagle, wings outstretched and clutching arrows and an olive branch, a striking symbol of both vigilance and peace. Believed to be in F or VF condition, the coin shows light to moderate circulation, yet the central design elements remain clearly visible, retaining much of the coin’s original character.
