1856-S $10 Liberty Head Eagle NGC AU-58 CAC

Category: $10 Liberty Head Eagle

CAC. The 1856-S $10 Liberty Head Eagle is a classic early San Francisco Mint gold issue, struck during a period when gold coinage was closely tied to western commerce and mining output. Eagles from this era were heavily used in circulation, making higher-grade survivors especially elusive today. The design by James B. Longacre reflects the mid-19th century federal aesthetic, with strong visual appeal even on coins that saw honest use.

This example is certified NGC AU-58 and approved by CAC, placing it near the threshold of Mint State. NGC has graded just 50 pieces at the AU-58 level, with only 8 finer across all higher grades. Within the CAC population, there are 8 examples at AU-58, with a mere 5 finer, underscoring the select nature of this coin among quality-conscious collectors.

The coin originates from a prominent Steamboat Springs, Colorado collection, adding an appealing layer of Rocky Mountain provenance. Its combination of rarity at the grade, CAC endorsement, and distinguished collection history makes it a noteworthy representative of pre–Civil War San Francisco gold.
