Lot 2514
1907 $10 Indian. No Motto. PCGS graded MS-63. Light golden toning. There is a lovely interplay between orange-gold and reddish colors that give this the eye appeal of an even higher grade. For the ordinary collector, the recent introduction of the low-art methods in modern "Eagle" half ounce gold coinage pales in comparison to Saint-Gaudens' masterful use of composition and balance in his so-called Indian head design. The portrait is actually that of Liberty posing with a fashionable feathered headdress mockingly like the war bonnets worn by a few Native American chieftains (PCGS # 8852) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
