1908 $10 GOLD INDIAN HEAD PCGS MS62
In the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt called for a renaissance in American coinage. Unhappy with the current designs on American coins, he called upon sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to head the redesign of America’s coins. Out of this renaissance came the Indian Head Gold coin.
These coins were issued from 1907 to 1916, suspended during much of World War I, and then issued sporadically until 1933. The design shows a portrait of Lady Liberty depicted as a Native American, with 13 stars overhead. The reverse side shows a bald eagle at rest on a quiver of arrows wrapped in an olive branch.
