Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coins is one of the rarest us gold coins. They are beautifully minted. They are hard to come by these days, if you ever wanted to own a beautiful us gold coin then the Indian Head Quarter Eagle is the best choice. The obverse depicts a realistic-looking Indian brave in a war bonnet, with the date, thirteen stars and the motto LIBERTY forming a circle around this central device.
The reverse shows an eagle in repose, perched upon fasces and an olive branch, the intertwined symbols of preparedness and peace. Bela Lyon Pratt was successful in incorporating four different inscriptions on this side, (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST and the statement of value) without causing the coin to seem unbalanced, cluttered or cramped.
The edges of Eagles minted from 1908-1911 are decorated with 46 raised stars–one for each state in the Union. Two more stars were added after 1912, recognizing two new states that entered the Union in that year. Some consider this the most beautiful US Gold Coin ever minted.
