The Certified US Gold $10 Liberty 1888-S MS61 PCGS CAC coin is a remarkable specimen that embodies the rich history of American coinage and the enduring legacy of the Liberty Head Eagle series. Struck in 1888 at the San Francisco Mint, this coin represents a pivotal period in American history marked by economic growth and expansion.
Designed by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht, the Liberty Head Eagle series features a captivating rendition of Lady Liberty on the obverse, wearing a coronet inscribed with the word "Liberty." The reverse showcases a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace.
During the late 19th century, the $10 Gold Liberty coin played a vital role in American commerce, facilitating transactions and trade across the nation. The 1888-S issue holds particular significance as it was struck at the San Francisco Mint, which played a crucial role in supplying gold coinage during the California Gold Rush.
