The Ten Dollar Indian Head Gold Eagle was first minted in 1907 and it was characterized by a sharp rim along the coin’s edge rather the usual elevated rounded edge which was the standard in US coin mintage.
One special characteristic is the early $10 Indian Head Eagle from years 1907 to 1908 is the lack of the motto “In God We Trust” which was reintroduced in 1908. The Ten Dollar Indian Head Eagle was minted every year from the year 1907 to 1916.
After 1916 the production of it became scarce. Until the minting of all gold coins ended suddenly with President Franklin Roosevelt’s Gold Order of 1933 which prohibited the private ownership of gold coins and exchange of other forms of currencies.
