The Certified $10 Gold Indian 1908 AU55 PCGS coin represents a pivotal moment in American coinage history. Struck in 1908 at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is part of the iconic Indian Head eagle series, known for its innovative design and cultural significance.
Designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the $10 Gold Indian coin features a striking portrayal of Liberty wearing a Native American headdress on the obverse. This departure from traditional coin designs of the time reflected the nation's evolving identity and celebrated its diverse heritage.
The reverse of the coin displays a majestic eagle perched atop a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing America's strength and commitment to peace. Saint-Gaudens' intricate design captures the grace and power of the eagle, showcasing his mastery of sculptural artistry.
Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin bears no mintmark, distinguishing it from issues struck at other mint facilities. The absence of a mintmark adds to the coin's historical significance and appeals to collectors seeking a representative piece of early 20th-century American coinage.
This Certified $10 Gold Indian 1908 AU55 PCGS coin has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as About Uncirculated 55 (AU55).
