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 distinguished example of America's storied pre-Civil War gold coinage, certified AU-50 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. Struck at the New Orleans Mint in 1847, this $10 Liberty Eagle carries the "O" mint mark on the reverse beneath the eagle — a hallmark of Southern branch-mint production during one of the most dynamic eras in U.S. monetary history. The coin weighs 0.4838 troy oz of gold and bears the iconic Coronet Liberty Head obverse designed by Christian Gobrecht, surrounded by thirteen stars, with the date at the bottom. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, inscribed UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TEN D. What elevates this particular example is its Granite Lady Hoard provenance — a celebrated numismatic cache that has lent documented pedigree to each coin it produced. The coin is housed in NGC's sonically sealed, tamper-evident holder with the official holographic back label, making it an exceptional centerpiece for any advanced U.S. gold type set or mid-19th-century collection.
