In 1838, Christian Gobrecht, the 3rd Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, crafted the Liberty Head design for the $10 gold coin. This iconic design, which appeared on $10, $5, and $2.50 Eagles, holds the record for the longest production run in the US Eagle denomination. The $10 Liberty Eagle was minted from 1838 to 1907, making it a key piece in American numismatic history. Currently, 1899 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins are available from BullionMax in certified condition.
