1907 Indian Head Ten-Dollars Gold Coin

The Story Behind 1907 Indian Head Gold Ten-Dollars Gold Coin

In 1907, U.S. coinage underwent a radical transformation. President Theodore Roosevelt, criticizing existing designs as "artistically mediocre," personally commissioned sculptors Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Bela Lyon Pratt to create coins that would be "worthy of ancient Greece."

• Sunken Relief: Pratt pioneered incuse design (engraved below the coin's surface), creating dramatic shadows on the Native American chief and eagle.
• Controversy: The public initially mocked them as "sickly coins" because dirt collected in the recessed areas.

Why It’s Rare

• The Native American portrait was allegedly a Mohican chief, though Pratt never confirmed, sparking "cultural appropriation" debates.
• Roosevelt hailed it as "true American art," aligning with his Progressive Era ideals.
