The Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1874 XF45 coin, graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatic history. This coin is part of the $10 Liberty gold series, which holds immense historical significance and remains highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.
The $10 Liberty gold coin, also known as the Coronet eagle, was first introduced in 1838. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse of the coin features a portrayal of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word "LIBERTY," while the reverse showcases a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch. The design remained relatively consistent throughout the series, with minor modifications made over the years.
The year 1874 saw the production of $10 Liberty gold coins at various U.S. Mint facilities, including the Philadelphia Mint, which was the primary minting facility for gold coins during this period. The Philadelphia Mint, established in 1792, played a central role in the production of U.S. coinage and contributed significantly to the nation's monetary system.
Historical records indicate that the mintage figures for $10 Liberty gold coins varied from year to year and from mint to mint. While exact mintage figures for the 1874 issue may vary, production levels were influenced by factors such as demand for gold coinage, fluctuations in the price of gold, and the availability of bullion.
The Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1874 XF45 coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS, one of the leading third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. The assigned grade of XF45 indicates that the coin exhibits wear consistent with its circulation in commerce, but it still retains many of its original details.
In XF (Extremely Fine) condition, the coin may show moderate wear on the high points of the design, such as Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers, but the overall design elements remain sharp and well-defined. The XF grade is indicative of a coin that has been circulated but has not suffered extensive wear or damage.
Each Certified $10 Gold Liberty 1874 XF45 coin is encapsulated in a secure holder provided by PCGS, ensuring its protection and preservation. The encapsulation also includes important information such as the coin's certification number, grade, and variety, if applicable.
