The highly prized $10 Indian gold coins were authorized in 1907 by President Roosevelt. He commissioned Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of America's greatest sculptors, to set a new high standard in the art of coinage.
Their goal was to create a fresh new series of US Mint gold coinage. For the $10 series Saint-Gaudens created an extremely beautiful design, the head of Liberty crowned by an American Indian war bonnet.
Featuring Magnificent Designs - On the obverse side, each $10 Indian gold coin features a majestic Guardian eagle with the words "E Pluribus Unum" on the reverse. The edge of each gold piece has 46 raised stars. Two more stars were added after 1912 when New Mexico and Arizona joined the Union.
In God We Trust - The first 1907 $10 Indians were missing the "In God We Trust" motto. President Roosevelt personally objected to the use of the Deity on coinage. But, after a public outcry, Congress returned the motto to the $10 Indians in 1908.
Brilliant Uncirculated, Mint Condition - The $10 Indian Head gold pieces we're offering all have original mint luster and are Brilliant Uncirculated with no sign of wear.
