1900 Liberty Head $10 Gold Eagle

Christian Gobrecht designed 1900 Liberty Head $10 gold eagles, which represent a coin type that was first made many decades earlier, in 1838. Gobrecht, serving as the third chief engraver of the United States Mint, designed several coins during his tenure at the U.S. Mint. The most popular of these, aside from the 1900 Liberty Head $10 gold coins, is Seated Liberty coinage, which was struck during a time span ranging from the late 1830s to the early 1890s.
