1907 Indian Gold $10 - 1oz Copper Medallion
The Indian Head Eagle was a ten-dollar gold piece, or eagle, struck by the United States Mint continuously from 1907-1916, and then irregularly until 1933. The obverse and the reverse, designed by the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, were originally commissioned for use on other denominations (like the Double Eagle). Roosevelt and Saint-Gaudens at first considered a uniform design for the four denomination of U.S. coin which were struck in gold, but in 1907 Roosevelt decided to use a model for the obverse of the eagle that the sculptor had meant to use for the cent. For the reverse of the ten-dollar coin the President decided on a design featuring a standing bald eagle, which had been developed for the twenty-dollar piece designed by Saint-Gaudens.
