Ten Dollar Indians Price Guide
The Indian $10 gold piece (1907-1933) was born out of President Theodore Roosevelt’s desire to have American coinage elevated to a preeminent world status. He collaborated with one of the greatest modern Sculptors of the time, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to redesign his vision of American coinage. With a Cancer Diagnosis, Saint-Gaudens was able to complete his final work on just two denominations, the $10 and $20 gold pieces before his death in August 1907. Saint-Gaudens new Ten Dollar Gold Eagle obverse features an American Indian adorning a traditional headdress with 13 stars above and mintage year below. The reverse features a bald eagle with a cluster of arrows and olive branch beneath the talons, symbolic of war and peace, with four inscriptions within and around the eagle motif, also used on the $2.50 and $5 gold pieces of 1908 by Bela Lyon Pratt. The 1907 issues featured a Wire Edge and Rolled Edge, and with ‘No Motto,’ until 1908, and changed to ‘With Motto’ thereafter. The $10 Gold Eagle was struck by the U.S. Mint continuously from 1907 until 1916, and then irregularly until 1933, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) initiated the Gold Recall Act in 1933.
