<B>1878 $10 Liberty Head Eagle, Judd-1580, Pollock-1773, Low R.7, PR66 Red and Brown NGC.</B></I> A cap inscribed LIBERTY adorns the flowing locks on the obverse with IN GOD WE TRUST above and 1878 below. Stars are arranged with seven to the left and six more to the right. A small eagle has wings that are stretched far above, holding three arrows and an olive branch. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and denomination TEN DOLLARS follow the border above and below. The upper reverse field has the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The obverse design is similar in general appearance to that of the Morgan silver dollar, and both obverse and reverse are attributed to George Morgan. Nearly full faded mint color remains with deep orange and lilac, blended with hints of olive-brown. Saul Teichman reports that about a dozen of these are known, and this total includes pieces that are copper and gilt-copper, with examples on both thin and thick planchets.<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
