Add a classic piece of American coinage to your collection with the $10 Liberty Head Gold Eagle, minted from 1866 to 1907. Distinguished by the “IN GOD WE TRUST” motto above the eagle on the reverse, this coin reflects both the artistic heritage and economic strength of post–Civil War America.

Design Features:

  • Obverse: Showcases Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY,” surrounded by 13 stars and the date below.

  • Reverse: Features a proud heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, with a shield at its breast. Above the eagle, the national motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” is prominently inscribed on a ribbon—added in 1866 in response to growing public religious sentiment during and after the Civil War.

Historical Background:
First introduced in 1838, the Liberty Head design remained in use until 1907. The addition of the motto in 1866 was a significant change, marking a new chapter in the spiritual and political identity of the United States. These coins circulated during a transformative era of westward expansion, industrialization, and monetary development.

Collector & Investment Appeal:
The $10 Liberty Head Eagle with motto is a cornerstone of pre-1933 U.S. gold collections. Its smaller size compared to Double Eagles makes it more affordable while still offering significant historical and gold value. Coins in higher grades or with rarer mintmarks (e.g., Carson City “CC”) can command a premium.

Why Buy From Us?
We offer genuine U.S. gold coins authenticated and graded by top services like PCGS and NGC, with options in XF to Mint State condition. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or a precious metals investor, the $10 Liberty Gold Eagle with Motto offers timeless value.
