Additional Description: Struck in 1897 at the Philadelphia Mint, this Liberty Head Ten Dollar Gold Eagle exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and enduring design of one of the United States’ most distinguished gold coin series. The obverse features the familiar portrait of Lady Liberty, her hair elegantly styled beneath a coronet inscribed with “Liberty,” while the reverse presents the heraldic eagle, wings outstretched and clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both vigilance and peace. Believed to be in F or FV condition, the coin shows light to moderate wear, yet the principal design elements remain well defined, preserving the character and presence of the original issue.
