Jaime Hernandez

The $10 1880 Liberty Gold Eagle is one of the most common dates in the series. It has a mintage over 1 million, so collectors should not have a hard time finding an example. As, they are fairly easy to find up to MS63 condition. In MS64 they are very scarce. In MS65 or higher they are very rare.
