1847 Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC XF45

The 1847 Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC XF45 is a pre-Civil War American gold coin carrying a coveted provenance designation from the Granite Lady Hoard, clearly noted on its NGC certification label. Struck by the United States Mint in gold at 0.4838 troy oz, this $10 Eagle belongs to the Liberty Head series — one of the most historically significant gold coin types in American numismatics, struck from 1838 through 1907. The obverse presents the classic Coronet Liberty head in left profile, encircled by thirteen stars and the date 1847, while the reverse displays the heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, with the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TEN D. Graded XF45 by NGC, the coin retains well-defined high-relief detail and characteristic original surfaces expected of this grade. The Granite Lady Hoard provenance adds a compelling collecting narrative that elevates this piece beyond a standard date-and-mintmark purchase. The coin is encapsulated in NGC's sonically sealed, tamper-evident holder, providing long-term protection and the confidence of third-party certification from the official grading service of the American Numismatic Association.
