1861 $10 Liberty Head Eagle, PCGS AU58 (Philadelphia) – Civil War Year Gold, No Motto Type
A desirable Civil War–year ten-dollar piece, this 1861 Liberty Head Eagle represents the No Motto type struck before “In God We Trust” was added in 1866. Certified AU58 by PCGS, it sits at the cusp of Mint State with strong detail, pleasing luster in the protected areas, and only the lightest friction on the high points—exactly what advanced collectors look for at this grade.
Key details:
Date/Mint: 1861, Philadelphia (No Mintmark)
Type: Liberty Head (Coronet) Eagle, No Motto reverse
Grade: PCGS AU58
Mintage: 113,164
Population (PCGS): 80 graded AU58; only 60 finer
Specifications: 90% gold, 10% copper; 27 mm; 16.718 g; AGW 0.48375 oz; reeded edge
Designer: James B. Longacre
Market and rarity insight:
While 1861 is among the more available dates within the No Motto Eagle series overall, it remains scarce in higher grades. AU pieces are notably tougher than VF/EF examples, and true Mint State coins are rare, with most certified MS clustered at the low end (predominantly MS61). The finest known examples reach as high as PCGS MS66 (ex Bass Collection), underscoring the significant condition rarity beyond AU. For collectors targeting a premium “type” example or a Civil War date, AU58 offers exceptional value: near-Mint eye appeal without the steep MS premium.
Historical significance:
Struck as the nation entered the Civil War, 1861 gold saw heightened circulation stress, hoarding, and later melting, reducing the number of high-grade survivors. As a Philadelphia issue from this pivotal year, it anchors any 19th-century U.S. gold cabinet, No Motto type set, or Civil War–themed collection.
Why this coin:
Civil War date with strong strike and attractive surfaces for the grade
Certified by PCGS for authenticity and grade confidence
Quality “type” representative of the No Motto Eagle, yet genuinely tough above AU
Add a historically resonant, investment-worthy gold Eagle to your collection—an attractive PCGS AU58 from 1861 that balances rarity, eye appeal, and value.
