1855 Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC AU58

The 1855 Liberty Head Eagle $10 Gold (Granite Lady Hoard) NGC AU58 is a mid-19th-century American gold coin carrying one of the most compelling pedigrees in recent numismatic history. Struck at the United States Mint in 1855, this $10 Liberty Head Eagle — also known as the Coronet Eagle — belongs to a type designed by Christian Gobrecht and produced continuously from 1838 through 1907. The obverse presents Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, encircled by thirteen stars, while the reverse features a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch beneath the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TEN D. This example was recovered as part of the Granite Lady Hoard, a storied cache that adds significant provenance appeal to an already historically rich series. NGC assigned it a grade of AU-58, recognizing its near-mint preservation with only the slightest friction on the high points. At 0.4838 troy oz of gold, this coin delivers both tangible precious-metal weight and deep collector significance. The coin is housed in NGC's tamper-evident hard plastic slab with a full holographic security label, ready for a fine type set or a hoard-specific collection.
