1847-O Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC AU50

The 1847-O Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC AU50 is a pre-Civil War American gold coin struck at the New Orleans Mint and graded AU-50 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. Part of the storied Coronet Head Eagle series first introduced in 1838, this $10 gold piece carries the O mint mark on the reverse — a detail visible below the eagle — placing its origin firmly at the New Orleans facility during a period of robust Southern gold coinage. The coin's NGC label carries the distinctive Granite Lady Hoard designation, linking it to a renowned collection that surfaced intact and added considerable numismatic excitement to the Liberty Eagle series. At AU-50, the coin retains substantial original detail across both the Coronet Liberty obverse and the heraldic eagle reverse, with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and denomination TEN D. fully legible. Weighing 0.4838 troy oz of 0.900 fine gold, this eagle represents both meaningful precious-metal content and deep historical resonance.
