The Liberty Head Eagle is a gold coin type minted by the United States from 1838 to 1907. The specific 10-dollar denomination, also known as the eagle, features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, depicting Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1849 Liberty Head Eagle is particularly significant as it was the first year of this design and coincided with the California Gold Rush, leading to a substantial increase in gold production and circulation of such coins. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and gold content, as well as their aesthetic appeal.
