The 1871 $10 Liberty Head Eagle, struck in Philadelphia with a mintage of just 1,790, ranks among the rarest dates in the series. PCGS has graded 7 as AU53 with 15 finer. PCGS estimates that there are 60 to 75 survivors of this issue. The 1871 $10 is undervalued and underpriced.
Numismatist David Akers declared: “The 1871 is rare in any condition… I do not know of any specimen that is strictly uncirculated and have seen only a few that qualify as AU.” His words affirm the coin’s elite rarity, a numismatic treasure defined by scarcity and survival.
Low demand during post-Civil War economic shifts curtailed production, leaving few coins for circulation and even fewer survivors. Most examples show heavy wear, making any gradeable piece exceptionally scarce.
In PCGS AU-53, this coin displays light friction on high points yet retains bold detail in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers. Such condition is remarkable given the issue’s attrition; lower grades dominate the population, while choice AU or better borders on unattainable.
