The $10 "Indian Head" Gold Eagle was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, considered by many as the greatest of modern sculptors, and introduced a new high standard of art on United States coins as evidenced by his Eagle and Double Eagle type coins 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 of the coin. 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 being a lettered or reeded edge. The first of these coins struck had no motto "In God We Trust" as had 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. From the Robert M. Overstreet Collection and comes with COA.
