1852-O $10 Liberty Gold Eagle – NGC AU 53

A true treasure from the heart of antebellum New Orleans, this 1852-O $10 Liberty Gold Eagle offers collectors a rare blend of historical allure and investment-grade appeal. Graded AU 53 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), this coin showcases light wear consistent with brief circulation, while retaining strong detail and luster throughout.

The 'O' mintmark beneath the eagle on the reverse is a proud mark of its Southern origin, offering a unique piece of American numismatic and economic history just prior to the Civil War.
