Liberty Eagles
1838 $10 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. From a mintage of only 7,200 pieces, the 1838 Liberty eagle survives in numbers fewer than 100 pieces, according to most estimates. The issue is popular for its ornate Liberty portrait, which differs in the hair styling and curvature of the bust truncation when compared to later issues in the series. This briefly circulated piece displays sharp detail and deep olive-gold coloration. Lightly abraded surfaces are muted by an old cleaning.
