1890-CC $10 Liberty Gold MS62 PCGS
$10 Liberty Gold
The Coinage Act of April 2, 1792, authorized the production of gold coins known as “eagle gold coins” in three different denominations. The $10 gold coin was our country’s largest denomination of gold coins until 1849.
From 1838-1907 the United States mints issued Liberty Head $10 gold coins. The first rendition of this coin, from 1838 to 1866, known as the Type 1, did not contain the motto, “In God We Trust.” But in 1866, the motto was added above the eagles on the reverse of what would be known as the Type 2 $10 Liberty gold coins.
The designer of these coins was Christian Gobrecht and they had a weight of 16.718 grams, comprised of 90% fine gold and 10% copper. Each $10 Liberty gold coin contains a net weight of .48375 ounces of pure gold. The copper added durability to the coins. The $10 Liberty gold coins also contain a reeded edge to prevent unscrupulous people from trying to shave off bits of gold from the edge of the coin.
The diameter was 27 mm and the coins had a reeded edge to prevent unscrupulous people from trying to shave off bits of gold from the edge. The no motto design was minted in New Orleans, La., Philadelphia, Pa. and San Francisco, Ca., while the version with the “In God We Trust” motto was also issued in Carson City, Nev. and Denver, Colo.
The Philadelphia Mint did not use mintmarks on coins it produced but mintmarks from the other mints can be found on the reverse of the coin below the eagle.
Mirrored surface proofs were produced in limited numbers from 1859-1907.
