The 1848 Liberty Head Eagle is a ten-dollar gold coin produced by the United States Mint. It features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. This coin was minted during a period of gold rush, reflecting the growing importance of gold in the American economy. The Liberty Head design was used from 1838 to 1907, and the 1848 edition is particularly significant due to its historical context and relatively small mintage, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
