The $10 Liberty Gold Eagle is a remarkable piece of American history and one of the most affordable ways to own genuine Pre-1933 U.S. gold. Each coin contains .4838 troy ounces of gold and was struck in .900 fine purity. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the Liberty Head motif symbolizes America’s spirit of freedom and progress during the 19th century.
The obverse features Lady Liberty facing left, encircled by 13 stars and wearing a coronet inscribed “LIBERTY.” The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with a shield on its chest, clutching arrows and an olive branch — a symbol of peace through strength. After 1866, the national motto “In God We Trust” was added above the eagle.
Each coin offered is a random-year issue between 1838 and 1907. Despite the passage of time, these coins remain tangible reminders of America’s golden age of coinage. With much of the original mintage melted during the 1930s, surviving examples are highly desirable for both investors and collectors.
Golden Opportunity for Investors & Collectors
Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins like the $10 Liberty Eagle offer intrinsic value and historical prestige. During the early 2000s, these coins traded for double spot value due to limited supply. Today, prices remain close to bullion levels, offering a rare opportunity to own U.S. Minted gold at near melt value — with the added advantage of scarcity and collector appeal.
The Legacy of Pre-1933 Gold
In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s gold recall led to the melting of millions of U.S. gold coins, dramatically reducing surviving numbers. The $10 Liberty Gold Eagle is among the few remaining relics of that era, offering a direct link to a time when U.S. currency was backed by tangible gold.
