Product Description
First year of issue. In accordance with President Theodore Roosevelt's wishes the motto In God We Trust is not on this coin. It wasn't until 1908 when the public outcry forced the motto back onto the coin where it was then put into law.
1907 was the beginning of change in America’s coinage. Two new Gold coins were introduced to the public, both designed by famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The obverse of the new $10 Eagle, or Indian as it is affectionately known, has an actual gold weight of .48375 oz. and weighs 16.7 grams. It was originally struck in high relief, such as a medal, but was later redesigned by Charles Barber. They were redesigned for two reasons: one, they did not stack well, and two, it took multiple strikes, which wore quickly on the dies. Once the relief had been redesigned by Barber, the Mint struck 239,000 pieces for circulation.
