Historical Significance of the Indian Gold Eagle
The early 20th century marked a renaissance in U.S. coinage, championed by President Theodore Roosevelt. The $10 Indian Gold Eagle, designed by the celebrated sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was first introduced in 1907. Its distinctive obverse features a Native American chief in a feathered headdress, while the reverse displays a proud standing eagle. Minted in 1926 at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin was produced during the Roaring Twenties, a vibrant period preceding the 1933 gold recall that led to the melting of millions of U.S. gold coins. Surviving examples like this one carry a tangible connection to an important chapter in American economic and artistic history.
