The Ten Dollar Indian Head Gold Eagle, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was minted on and off between 1907 and 1933. As one of only two coin designs produced by the legendary sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens during his lifetime, this stunning coin series is among the most popular to collect in American numismatic history. This 1926-P Ten Dollar Indian Head Gold Eagle was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and has been graded in Mint State 63 condition. Unlike most other coins of this time which have lettered or reeded edges, the edge of the Ten Dollar Indian Head Gold Eagle features 48 raised stars to signify the states in the Union. This unique trait showcases Saint-Gaudens dedication to making numismatics like art. Coins like this 1926-P Ten Dollar Indian Head Gold Eagle became increasingly rare as a result of President Franklin D. Roosevelt signing Executive Order 6102 in 1933. This order sought to revive the American economy by recalling circulating American gold coins to be melted down.
