A Glimpse into History
The Indian Head Gold Eagle, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and later modified by Bela Lyon Pratt, reflects the artistic innovation of the early 20th century. Its unique incuse design, where the features are pressed into the coin rather than raised, made it a distinctive and relatively short-lived series. The 1908-S issue offers a tangible connection to the San Francisco Mint during a period of significant growth and change in the American West.
