$10 Indian Head Gold Coin | Cull

Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed only two circulating gold coins for the United States, and this is one of them. The $10 Indian Head Eagle holds 0.4838 troy oz of gold in a .900 fine alloy and was struck from 1907 to 1933. Cull examples carry heavier wear or damage than typical circulated pieces, which puts genuine pre-1933 American gold within reach at the lowest premium available.

Key Features:

• Purity and Weight: .900 fine gold, 16.718 grams gross, 0.4838 troy oz actual gold weight
• Metal Type: Gold, struck by the United States Mint
• Obverse Design: Liberty in a feathered war bonnet, ringed by thirteen stars
• Reverse Design: Standing eagle perched on a bundle of arrows with an olive branch

The obverse presents Liberty in profile facing left, wearing a Native American feathered headdress with LIBERTY lettered across its band. The feathers fan back across the field in long individually cut quills, and her hair falls in waves beneath them. Thirteen stars arc around the upper rim, with the date centered below the truncation. The pairing of a classical Liberty with Plains Indian regalia was Saint-Gaudens’ own solution to a request from Theodore Roosevelt for more distinctly American coinage.

The reverse departs sharply from the spread-wing heraldic eagles that came before it. A bald eagle stands in profile with wings folded, gripping a bundle of arrows wrapped in an olive branch. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs across the top, E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST occupy the field on either side of the bird, and TEN DOLLARS runs along the bottom.

These coins measure 27 mm across. Cull grade means visible problems are expected: heavy wear, scratches, rim dings, cleaning, or edge damage. Dates and mintmarks ship at random based on current inventory, and gold content is guaranteed regardless of the condition of any individual coin.
