$10 Indian Gold Coin

- Design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens
- .48375 oz. pure gold
- Mintage: 1907-1933
The Indian Gold Eagle was the second coin designed by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in his commission to beautify American gold coinage. Sadly, it was also the last due to his untimely death on August 3, 1907.
Saint-Gaudens was born in Ireland, but his family moved to America before his first birthday. His work earned him a place high in the ranks of artists in the “American Renaissance,” a period of rising national pride and establishment of a unique American identity. The Gold Eagle is an icon of that era, but it took a nudge from another iconic figure – President Theodore Roosevelt.
Saint-Gaudens’ original design for the obverse depicted a more traditional Liberty adorned with a laurel wreath, modeled after that which he designed for the Sherman Monument in New York City’s Central Park. On a typically compelling suggestion from Roosevelt, the laurel wreath was replaced by a ceremonial Native American bonnet. Above Liberty’s head are 13 stars and below is the date.
On the reverse is a proud eagle in profile, its breast thrust forward and its head held high, looking straight ahead. The eagle is standing on a quiver of arrows bound with an olive branch. The original design also omitted the motto “In God We Trust” at the suggestion of President Roosevelt, who felt that using God’s name on money was profane.
Initial public reaction to the new eagle was negative, but sentiment quickly changed with recognition of the coin’s unparalleled beauty and deeply symbolic ties to our national roots. By Act of Congress in 1908, the motto became mandatory on all coinage and was added to the left of the Eagle on future mintages.
The Indian Gold Eagle contains 0.48375 ounces of pure gold alloyed with 10% copper, providing 100% backing for its $10 face value.
Poignant symbolism and masterful craftsmanship have placed the Indian Gold Eagle among the most desired and best performing rare gold coin investments.
My first order of business was to find a dealer that I could trust. After considerable research, Certified Gold Exchange was at the top of my list. When I contacted CGE, I was introduced to Pat Collins. From our first discussion, Pat clearly understood the situation and developed a plan.
Long story short, Pat earned my trust with his friendly demeanor, patience, and metals experience. I'll be calling CGE and Pat for my next transaction. Many thanks Pat!
From the beginning of contacting Patrick Collins the process was efficient and professional. Pat provided regular communication and helped me at every step. The length of time from start to finish was much quicker than I was expecting thanks to CGE.
I want to thank Pat and his team at Certified Gold Exchange for a smooth and efficient transaction.
being new to selling metals, Patrick walked me step by step in the process through distributions with my IRA. Whenever I contacted him with questions or concerns, he replied within an hour or minutes to resolve my percieved issues. What a comfort Patrick has been in this (at times) somewhat stressful process.
Thank you Patrick!
It was my first time selling precious metals and they made the process as seamless as possible, despite multiple hiccups caused by my chosen custodian failing miserably. I will choose this team for every precious metals purchase or sale in my future.
I decided to invest $60k and in just three months it's over $120k! Not only that, the team at Certified Gold Exchange has excellent customer service.
I highly recommend them.
When I spoke with coin dealer David White, he was able to give me a quote in 3.5 hours. He also explained the importance of shipping my coins via registered mail with the Post Office. David said that the Post Office requires a registered box to be sealed with brown paper tape to prevent tampering. David emailed me links to sites that showed the right tape to use and how to seal the box. He called several UPS stores in my neighborhood to try to find the tape for me. In the end, I bought the tape from the Post Office. David explained that while Fedex and UPS would ship the coins, since they are not allowed to ship gold or silver, I would have no recourse if my coins were lost. David even gave me his home number so I could reach him after hours if necessary.
My experience with Certified Gold Exchange, Inc. stands in stark contrast with how two other coin brokers responded. The firm from which I had bought most of my silver coins never called me back. On November 13 when I called the broker from whom I had bought most of my gold coins, I couldn't get through on the phone. So, I emailed them and it took 5 days for them to respond! The broker didn't give me a quote until December 2 -- and then only for some of the coins! He said he would tell me what they would pay for the other coins after I shipped them!
In addition, that broker explained that one of their customers had lost all their coins valued at $22,000 because the box was tampered with and they had failed to insure them for the full amount. However, I knew by then that if the firm had told the customer to ship the coins via registered mail as Certified Gold Exchange, Inc. does, the box could not have been tampered with.
So, Certified Gold Exchange, Inc. is the only gold and silver dealer I recommend. The level of service is truly remarkable.
Your interest in helping me on such short notice shows how much you care for your clients. I hope 🤞 to have you as one of my financial team in the future.
