The Indian Gold Eagle was produced by the US Mint from 1908 to 1933. It would be the third and final version of the $10 Gold Eagle Coin ever released. Because its mintage period directly preceded the cessation of gold currency, the Indian Gold Eagle Coins boasts an exceptional purity of 90.0% that makes it quite valuable by present-day standards as either a collectible or an investment piece. It is currently available and ready to ship in XF (Extremely Fine) condition.
Coin Highlights:
Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design for the Indian Gold Eagle coin was inspired by the changes occurring in the nation’s sense of identity during that period. On the front of the coin, he has depicted Lady Liberty attired in the traditional war bonnet of the Native American Indians. This artistic revision was not only meant to reflect the country’s new found respect for these indigenous people, but also its willingness to integrate them into the mainstream American culture. Serving as an equally patriotic border to this image is a series of thirteen stars, in honor of the original colonies, along with the coin’s mintage year.
As with his portrayal of Lady Liberty on the front of the coin, Saint-Gaudens chose to revise the traditional Heraldic Eagle emblem that appeared on the coin’s reverse side. He has replaced the traditional spread winged eagle, in favor of a more reserved and dignified bald eagle that has carefully perched itself on top of an olive branch and a set of arrows. Another change worth noting is the rendering of the eagle itself, which has become more detailed and life-like. Lastly, Saint-Gaudens has altered the inscriptions that surround the emblem in order to include the phrases, “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum.”
