The Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1902-S MS62 NGC coin represents a captivating piece of American numismatic history, showcasing the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of late 19th and early 20th-century coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1902, this coin features the iconic Liberty Head design, which has become synonymous with American gold coinage.
During the early 20th century, the United States Mint played a crucial role in producing gold coins that circulated as currency across the nation. The $10 Gold Liberty, also known as the "Coronet Head" eagle, was a staple of American commerce and served as a trusted medium of exchange during a time of economic expansion and prosperity.
Designed by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht, the obverse of the $10 Gold Liberty coin showcases a captivating depiction of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word "Liberty." Her portrait exudes grace and dignity, reflecting the ideals of freedom and democracy cherished by the American people.
The reverse of the coin features a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons. This design symbolizes America's desire for peace and readiness to defend its principles if necessary.
Graded MS62 (Mint State 62) by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this coin exhibits a remarkable level of preservation and original mint luster. The MS62 grade indicates that the coin retains its full details and luster, with only minor imperfections visible under close inspection.
NGC encapsulates the Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1902-S MS62 coin in a secure holder, providing both protection and authentication. This encapsulation process ensures the coin's integrity and guards against tampering or damage, while also allowing for easy display and storage.
The mintage figures for the 1902-S $10 Gold Liberty coin reflect the production output of the San Francisco Mint for that year. As one of the primary minting facilities for gold coinage, the San Francisco Mint played a significant role in meeting the demand for circulating currency throughout the western United States.
The MS62 condition of this coin indicates that it may exhibit some minor imperfections or contact marks consistent with handling and circulation. However, these imperfections are relatively minor and do not detract significantly from the overall eye appeal and beauty of the coin.
