The $10 Indian Gold series of Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 0 distinct entries.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens, considered one of the greatest American sculptors of the
era, introduced a new high standard of art in United States coins evidenced by his
eagle and double eagle types of 1907. The obverse of the eagle shows the head of
Liberty crowned with an Indian war bonnet while an impressively majestic eagle
dominates the reverse side. A departure from older standards is found on the edge of
the piece, where 46 raised stars (48 stars in 1912 and later) are arranged signifying
the states of the Union, instead of there being a lettered or reeded edge.
The first of these coins struck had no motto IN GOD WE TRUST, unlike the later
issues, starting in 1908. President Theodore Roosevelt personally objected to the
use of the Deity's name on coins. The motto was restored to the coins by an act of
Congress in 1908.
