Numismatic Gold Coins

The Indian Half Eagle was first released in 1908. What makes this coin unique in American numismatics is how the fields of the coin are raised higher than the rest of the coin’s design and have no raised edge. This is called an “incuse design”. In fact, this $5 Indian Quarter Eagle carries the distinction of being one of only two designs in American history to use an incuse design. The other is the $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle. The decision to strike coins like this was not well received when they came out. However, today they are beloved by collectors. The Indian Half Eagle was produced form 1908-1916, and then returned for one final year of production in 1929. Needless to say, there aren’t many on the market. Out of over 900,000 coins minted, less than 1% of those coins have achieved the MS62 grade by PCGS, making this piece highly desirable by collectors.

In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned noted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the entire American coinage spectrum from the cent to the double eagle. Working in his studio in Cornish, New Hampshire (now a National Historic Site), the artist prepared many sketches. In failing health, Saint-Gaudens was able to complete or nearly complete work for just two denominations, the $10 and $20, both of which were first struck in 1907. This series would also represent the final $10 gold coin that would be used in circulation as currency and the collecting of $10 Gold Indians has created a specialty amongst collectors. Furthermore, the grade of the coin has been verified by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces. They are a third party that verifies previously graded coins and award their sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
