1901-S $10 Liberty Head Gold Eagle – CACG MS65 – Gem Mint State Gold
Offered here is a beautiful 1901-S Liberty Head $10 Gold Eagle, graded MS65 by CAC Grading. Struck at the historic San Francisco Mint, this coin represents a high-grade example of a classic pre-1933 U.S. gold issue with strong collector appeal.
The 1901-S issue is a popular date within the Liberty Head Eagle series, known for its solid mintage yet increasing scarcity in higher Mint State grades. Gem-quality examples such as this MS65 are significantly more difficult to obtain and are highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.
Graded MS65, this coin displays outstanding original luster with rich golden color and excellent surface preservation. The fields are clean, and the devices are sharply struck, showing strong detail throughout Liberty’s portrait and the reverse eagle. Only minimal marks are present, consistent with Gem Mint State quality, giving this coin exceptional eye appeal.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features Liberty wearing a coronet surrounded by thirteen stars, while the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch. The coin is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, with an actual gold weight of approximately 0.4838 troy ounces.
San Francisco Mint gold coins are widely collected for their quality and historical significance, and the 1901-S $10 Eagle is a strong representative of the series. High-grade examples like this MS65 continue to see strong demand due to their combination of beauty, condition, and long-term collectibility.
CACG certification provides added assurance of quality and originality, making this an excellent addition to any advanced U.S. gold collection or type set.
