History

The $10 Liberty gold coin was designed by Christian Gobrecht in 1838 and was struck until 1907. There are two major types of the $10 Liberty; the first type is the "without motto" variety which was struck until 1866, and the second type which is the "with motto" variety that has the added legend "IN GOD WE TRUST" above the eagle on the reverse, which was struck until 1907. They have a gross weight of 16.718 grams, with a composition of .900 gold, .100 copper, for a net weight of .48375 ounces of pure gold. The $10 Liberty has a diameter of 27 mm and has a reeded edge. The obverse has Liberty facing left and the word liberty on the coronet while the reverse has eagle with the value marked TEN D below the eagle.

Market Value

The market value of any coin depends on several factors. The first criterion is the intrinsic value of the precious metal in the coin; the second is the rarity of the coin and of course the quality and eye appeal of the coin. Once all of these criteria have been examined the actual current value of the coin can be determined. Never clean your coins to enhance their quality, generally speaking the quality of the coin is lowered by unnecessary or improper cleaning (leave that to the experts).
