The final design to grace the historic $10 Eagle gold coin from the United States Mint was known as the Indian Head Eagle. Introduced in 1907 by the United States Mint and designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the design was unique in its combination of historic versions of Lady Liberty and American indigenous culture with the inclusion of a feathered headdress. Today, 1932-Pre-33 $10 Indian Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.

The 1932 Indian Eagle was the highest-minted coin in the history of the Indian Eagle Series. These coins were first struck in 1907 and issued annually through 1916. There were only five issues of the coin following 1916 (1920, 1926, 1930, 1932, and 1933). The 4,463,000 coins struck in 1932 marked the highest mintage in this design program’s run, nearly doubling the next highest date from 1910 when 2,356,640 coins were struck at the Denver Mint.
All 1932 Pre-33 $10 Indian Gold Eagle Coins available here come in NGC plastic slabs with a grade of Mint State 65. Coins in this condition have high-quality luster for the date and a few small, scattered contact marks. One or two larger marks may be present, along with one or two small patches of hairlines. Overall, the eye appeal of the coin is very pleasing.
On the obverse of 1932 $10 Indian Gold Eagles, you will find Saint-Gaudens’ left-profile bust of Liberty. This depiction shows Liberty’s head in left-profile relief with a feathered headdress atop her head. The band on the headdress includes the word Liberty and there is an arch of 13 stars above her head.
The reverse of 1932 Pre-33 $10 Indian Eagle Coins comes with a depiction of the American bald eagle. The eagle is shown perched on a sheaf of arrows that is wrapped in an olive branch. The field includes the national motto, denomination, and nation of issue.
