Historical Significance

The $10 Indian Eagle was introduced during President Theodore Roosevelt's initiative to revitalize American coinage through artistic innovation. Saint-Gaudens’ vision of Liberty in a Native American headdress broke away from European-style motifs and emphasized distinctly American identity. These coins saw limited circulation before the 1933 Gold Recall led to widespread melting, reducing surviving populations and making them historically scarce.
