Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the $10 Indian Gold Eagle is one of the most iconic and visually striking coins in American numismatic history. Minted from 1907 to 1933, it features a bold image of Liberty in a Native American war bonnet and an edge adorned with raised stars—symbolizing the number of U.S. states at the time. These Brilliant Uncirculated coins have withstood the test of time, having survived the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, which led to the mass melting of gold coinage and the restriction of private ownership.

Why Choose This Coin?
BU $10 Indian Gold Eagles represent the finest preserved examples of this classic coin. With no wear and strong eye appeal, they are ideal for collectors focused on condition and visual integrity.

Historical Significance
The $10 Indian Eagle was born out of President Theodore Roosevelt's campaign to elevate U.S. coinage into works of art. Saint-Gaudens' unique design broke away from European traditions and captured an authentically American identity. While millions were struck, most were lost during the 1933 recall and subsequent melting, leaving Brilliant Uncirculated survivors increasingly rare and highly desirable.
