The 1861 Liberty Head Eagle, a ten-dollar gold coin, was minted in San Francisco and is part of the Liberty Head series, which was produced from 1838 to 1907. These coins feature the iconic Liberty Head design by engraver James B. Longacre on the obverse, and an ornate eagle with a shield on the reverse. The 1861 issue is particularly significant due to its historical context, as it was struck during a tumultuous period in American history, marked by the Civil War. Its collectible value is influenced by factors such as condition, rarity, and demand among numismatists.
