    Description

    The 1849 Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC AU55 is a gold eagle from one of the most storied provenance designations in American numismatics. Struck at the height of the California Gold Rush era, this $10 Liberty Eagle carries the Coronet Liberty Head obverse — designed by Christian Gobrecht — depicting Liberty facing left in a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars, with the date 1849 below. The reverse presents the heraldic eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch beneath the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TEN D. Weighing 0. NGC has certified this example AU-55, reflecting well-preserved high-relief details and original gold surfaces consistent with a lightly circulated specimen from nearly 175 years ago. It is housed in NGC's signature sonically sealed slab, protecting the coin's surfaces and permanently recording its Granite Lady Hoard pedigree for future generations of collectors.

    Frequently asked questions

    The Granite Lady Hoard is a named numismatic collection from which this coin originates. NGC officially designated this pedigree on the slab label, making it a traceable provenance that adds historical context and collectible appeal beyond the coin's grade alone. Provenance-noted coins are highly sought after by advanced collectors.
    NGC certified this coin AU-55 (About Uncirculated 55), indicating well-preserved design details with only slight friction on the high points. At AU-55, the Liberty Head portrait and heraldic eagle reverse retain strong definition and original gold surfaces, placing it firmly in the desirable AU tier for type and date collectors.
    This coin weighs 0.4838 troy oz of gold, consistent with the standard U.S. $10 Liberty Eagle specification. The denomination TEN D. is inscribed on the reverse, confirming its face value as a ten-dollar gold piece, one of the flagship denominations in 19th-century American coinage.
    The coin is sealed in NGC's sonically welded hard plastic slab, which protects the surfaces from environmental exposure and physical handling. The front label clearly displays the year, denomination, grade (AU-55), and the Granite Lady Hoard provenance notation, while the reverse features NGC's tamper-evident holographic security sticker.
