The Liberty Head Eagle, also known as the Liberty Head $10 gold coin, was minted in the United States from 1838 to 1907. The 1879 Liberty Head Eagle was struck at the New Orleans Mint, producing coins that feature a depiction of Lady Liberty wearing a tiara. Collectors seek these coins not only for their numismatic value but also for their gold content, as they contain 0.48375 ounces of gold. The 1879-O issue is particularly significant for its lower mintage and historical context within the era of gold coinage in the United States.
