1909 $10 Indian Gold Eagle MS-62 NGC
In 1909, the Philadelphia mint produced a ten dollar gold coin that remains one of the most distinctive designs in American numismatic history. Containing 0.4838 troy ounces of gold, this piece showcases a bold departure from traditional imagery, capturing the spirit of a nation redefining its coinage. The front of the coin features a portrait of Lady Liberty adorned with a Native American war bonnet. Thirteen stars encircle this central figure, representing the original colonies, while the word 'Liberty' is clearly inscribed upon her hair band. The year 1909 is positioned directly beneath the bust. On the reverse, a proud bald eagle stands as the central focus. It is surrounded by the inscriptions 'United States of America' and 'E Pluribus Unum,' alongside the ten dollar denomination. Rather than a standard reeded border, the edge of this coin is decorated with raised stars, adding a tactile and visual depth to its overall presentation.
