The Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1895 MS61 coin, authenticated and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), offers collectors and investors a remarkable piece of American numismatic history. This coin belongs to the iconic $10 Liberty gold series, which holds a significant place in the annals of U.S. coinage.
Introduced in 1838, the $10 Liberty gold coin, also known as the Coronet eagle, was designed by Christian Gobrecht. Its obverse features a portrayal of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word "LIBERTY," while the reverse displays a majestic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch. The design underwent modifications over the years, including changes to the size of the date and the addition of the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" in 1866.
The 1895 $10 Liberty gold coin was struck during a time when the United States was experiencing significant economic growth and industrial expansion. It was minted at the Philadelphia Mint, the primary facility responsible for producing U.S. coinage at the time. The Philadelphia Mint, established in 1792, played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's monetary system.
Historical records indicate that the mintage figure for the 1895 $10 Liberty gold coin was relatively modest compared to other years. This makes the coin somewhat scarcer and more sought after by collectors. The exact mintage number varies depending on the condition and whether it was struck with a proof finish or for circulation.
Each Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1895 MS61 coin is securely encapsulated in a holder provided by NGC. This certification ensures the coin's authenticity and assigns it a grade of Mint State 61 (MS61). Coins graded as MS61 exhibit some signs of wear and may have numerous contact marks, hairlines, or abrasions visible to the naked eye.
Despite these imperfections, coins graded as MS61 are still considered to be in uncirculated condition, meaning they have never been used in commerce. While they may not display the same level of luster and eye appeal as higher-grade examples, they remain desirable to collectors and investors who appreciate the historical significance and intrinsic value of $10 Liberty gold coins.
The NGC holder not only provides protection for the coin but also includes important information such as the coin's certification number, grade, and variety, if applicable. This information adds to the coin's provenance and helps ensure its marketability and liquidity in the numismatic marketplace.
Collectors and investors interested in acquiring the Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1895 MS61 coin have the opportunity to own a piece of American history. Whether displayed as part of a coin collection or held as a tangible asset, this coin represents a tangible link to the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of U.S. coinage.
